The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a national resource that connects people of all ages who are experiencing mental distress with support. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) offers 24/7 call, text, and chat access to trained crisis counselors who can help people experiencing suicidal thoughts, substance use, mental health crises, and any other kind of emotional distress. People can also dial the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline if they are worried about a friend, family member, or loved one who may need crisis support.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has partnered with Public Sector Consultants, a Lansing-based research firm, to gather input on the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline from adults aged 60 and older. Our goal is to hear your experiences, recommendations, and concerns to ensure that Michigan’s 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline call centers are prepared to better support older adults. It is especially important to MDHHS that the diverse experiences of Michigan’s older adults are carefully considered and incorporated into Michigan’s 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline outreach and education efforts. Your time, experience, feedback, and perspectives are valued and appreciated.
