Are you or someone you know experiencing a mental health crisis? The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is a nationwide emergency number dedicated to mental and emotional health crises and it is now fully available to residents here in the Town of Webb.

What Contacting 988 Does:
🔹 Connects callers directly with trained crisis counselors
🔹 Provides immediate support for suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, or substance-related crises
🔹 Offers guidance for family or friends concerned about a loved one
🔹 Operates 24/7, 365 days a year
🔹 Free and confidential

Call/Text 988 if you or someone else is:
🔹 Feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope
🔹 Having thoughts of self-harm or su***de
🔹 Experiencing intense anxiety, panic, depression, or emotional distress
🔹 Worried about a friend or family member’s mental state
🔹 Struggling with substance use and need immediate support

When you call, you will reach a trained counselor who will listen, offer support, help you de-escalate the crisis, and connect you with local resources when appropriate. Most crises can be resolved over the phone — without needing police, EMS, or a trip to the hospital unless absolutely necessary.

For Emergencies Involving Immediate Danger:
If someone has already harmed themselves, is actively attempting to, or poses a clear and imminent threat to others, call 911 immediately.

Mental health challenges affect people from every walk of life. By knowing when to contact 988, you can help ensure you, friends, family members, or neighbors are able to get the right help at the right time.

Update pics show big leaps forward: the roof membrane is going on, front siding is taking shape, and the first-floor heat tubing with reinforcement is set and poured. The Pullman St. side now has partial siding and its new door-cover roof, stonework is finished in front with the side underway, and framing continues on both floors. Upstairs front doors are in, the stairway railings have arrived, and the latest shot gives a fresh look at the front as the building continues to come together.
