Today is 988 Day, a national initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. This lifeline provides 24/7, judgment-free support for mental health, substance use, and suicidal crises.
We encourage you to share this resource widely with family, friends, and colleagues. One conversation and one phone number can make the difference between despair and hope.
Remember: starting a conversation is not harmful. Silence is. Together, we can normalize talking about mental health, reduce stigma, and ensure that no one struggles alone.
Need more information, referrals, or support? Check out the resources below or contact the NAMI HelpLine.
