It was wonderful to connect in person with self-advocates, parents, caregivers, professionals, and our generous sponsors at the ASLA Summit a few weeks ago.


We are grateful for the wonderful feedback we received and truly appreciate everyone who helped make the Summit such a meaningful and successful event. We look forward to reconnecting with you soon!


We also invite you to learn more about our generous sponsors and the important impact they are making in our community.


Thank you for being part of the ASLA community. We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming event below!

Hotlines and General Info

988 Fast Facts


  • 988 will be confidential, free, and available 24/7/365 to connect those experiencing a mental health, substance use, or suicidal crisis with trained crisis counselors.


  • Access is available through every land line, cell phone, and voice-over internet device in the United States.


  • 988 call services will be available in Spanish, along with interpretation services in over 150 languages.


  • The 988 dialing code will be available for call, text, and chat by July 16, 2022. Until then, those in crisis should continue to use 1-800-273-8255, which will continue to function even after the transition.
