NEW Veterans Crisis Line

Dial 988 then Press 1

The NEW Veterans Crisis Line phone number goes live today! Dial 988 then Press 1. This change is a result of the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020, which requires all telephone service providers in the U.S. to activate 988 by July 16, 2022 for national suicide prevention support. The transition to a 3-digit number helps make it easier to remember and share the number to access help in times of need. After activation, Veterans will still be able to call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1 to reach responders in addition to using Dial 988 then Press 1.

Keep updated & let us know how we're doing.
