988 Lifeline Launches Spanish Text and Chat
The National Suicide Designation Act of 2020 brought about a redesign of the Suicide and Crisis Hotline. What was once a 10-digit 1-800 number is now a 3-digit number (988) that resembles the national emergency number (911). The 988 number celebrated its 1-year anniversary this July. This month 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (Lifeline) has also launched text and chat services in Spanish. To access, text AYUDA to 988 or chat online. Comments are closed.
