Finding Support When You Need It Most:

The 988 Crisis Helpline


A crisis, whether it’s emotional distress, financial hardship, or overwhelming uncertainty, can leave anyone feeling lost. But hope is truly just a call away.

 

Life can be overwhelming at times, whether you're facing emotional distress, financial difficulties, or uncertainty. In those moments, it's important to remember that support is just a call away.


988 is a nationwide crisis helpline for mental health support, including those experiencing suicidal thoughts or emotional crises. Just like we all know to call 911 in an emergency, 988 is there for mental health emergencies. When you dial 988, you are immediately connected with trained professionals who provide compassionate, confidential help. These experts offer guidance, reassurance, and access to vital resources to help you through difficult times.


Whether you’re a student or a parent, it’s important that everyone in our community knows how to reach out for help. You don’t have to navigate life’s struggles alone—988 is here for everyone.


Dial or Text 988 for mental health support.

Help is here. You are not alone.
