We ensure that our kids know to call 9-1-1 in an emergency. Now, let's make sure they know to call 9-8-8 if they're experiencing a mental health crisis.

Beginning July 16th, people can call or text 9-8-8 and immediately be connected with a trained mental health professional. This simplied number (modeled after 9-1-1) is intended to be more memorable and make it easier for people in crisis to get the professional help they need.

Su***de is the 3rd leading cause of death for teens which makes this such an important tool to put in their hands. Let's make sure that every teen we know has this number memorized. Text them a screenshot and encourage them to save it to their phone. Talk to them about what it would be like to call the number so that it feels approachable for them…a trained, caring counselor will answer and talk them through what's going on. It’s as simple as that. Nearly 90% of callers are able to make it through their crisis with just the intervention of talking with a crisis counselor. If the caller needs more intervention, they'll connect them to resources and additional support.

Su***de is preventable and 9-8-8 is a powerful life-saving tool we can now offer our teens. Help us spread the word!
