The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline functions as a vital, confidential, and free national resource available 24/7 to any individual experiencing a mental health crisis or significant emotional distress. By calling, texting, or chatting the number 988, a person is promptly connected with a trained crisis counselor, often from a center within their local area. The primary objective of these counselors is to provide immediate, compassionate, and non-judgmental support, helping to de-escalate the situation and offer a safe space for discussion. In addition to providing in-the-moment assistance, they are equipped to connect individuals with relevant local resources for ongoing care, such as counseling services, treatment facilities, and support groups, thereby serving as a crucial bridge from an immediate crisis to a pathway for long-term support and recovery.
