Q: How is 988 different than 911?

A: 988 was established to improve access to crisis services in a way that meets our country’s growing su***de and mental health-related crisis care needs. 988 provides easier access to the Lifeline network and related crisis resources, which are distinct from the public safety purposes of 911 (where the focus is on dispatching Emergency Medical Services, fire and police as needed).
