In 2020, Congress designated the new 988 dialing code to be operated through the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Beginning July 16, 2022, 988 will be the new three-digit dialing code connecting people to the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, where compassionate, accessible care and support is available for anyone experiencing mental health-related distress—whether that is thoughts of suicide, mental health or substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress. People can also dial 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.

Additional information about 988 can be found at the SAMHSA 988 TOOLKIT SITE.
