The COVID-19 pandemic has increased feelings of anxiety, stress, and isolation for millions of Americans.
- If you or someone you love is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.
-
To speak to someone about how you are feeling, dial 988 for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. 988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (now known as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.
