Tomorrow is 988 DAY! How do I love 988? Let me count the ways: Kind 988 counselors to listen and help. It's 24/7/365. Free. It's confidential, but I can choose to be anonymous. It's quick access to behavioral health safety-net services. If I need in-person help, they can send the Mobile Response Team to where I am. It's a safe, non-traumatic phone call for behavioral health issues. 988 has reduced suicides by 11% in teens and young adults - saving lives and connecting people to care. Federal and state money covers some of the cost and it's a big bang for the bucks since it usually avoids any type of in-person response. You can TEXT or CHAT 988. I could go on and on . . . if you need help, don't wait until you are in crisis; call 988 NOW.
