Join the nationwide effort to raise awareness about the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline and promote accessible mental health support.

Learn more and find out how to get involved at 988DayToolkit.org to take part in 988 Week of Action: 9/6 - 9/12! What is your reason?

It's ! 💜

This year's theme, "988 Reasons: Your reason is reason enough," reminds us that you don't have to be in crisis to reach out to the 988 Lifeline. Whatever you're facing, support is available.

Today, share what 988 means to you - whether it's reaching out for support, checking in on someone you care about, finding someone to talk to, or simply knowing that help is available when you need it.

Share your reason and help remind others that there's no wrong time to reach out to 988.

What is 988, and is it active?

988 is now active across the United States. This new, shorter phone number will make it easier for people to remember and access mental health crisis services. (Please note, the previous 1-800-273-TALK (8255) number will continue to function indefinitely).
