The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across the United States. The Lifeline is comprised of a national network of over 200 local crisis centers, combining custom local care and resources with national standards and best practices.
One veteran suicide per day is too many. 22 per day, the current average, is unfathomable and unacceptable. Please share the info about this telephonic resource.
This easy to remember phone number for the National Support Line went live in mid July.
