We’re deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dolly Parton.

Dolly, who had recently posted about physical health issues, passed surrounded by loved ones, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy as a music legend, philanthropist, and mental health advocate.

In 2019, Dolly opened up about her struggles with depression and suicidal ideation, reminding us that even the most beloved and accomplished people can struggle with their mental health.

Thank you for everything, Dolly. We will always love you 💙

More people are reaching out for support — and 988 is answering. 💚

In 2025, 988 state contact centers saw a 12% increase in calls compared to 2024. Even better: 89% were answered in-state, which connected callers directly to local care when it mattered most.

Growth like this means two things: awareness is spreading, and people are taking that first step to find help.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988, or text TALK to 741741. You don't have to be alone. 💙
