You may want to help educate your staff and students about the renaming of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It is now the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline can be accessed 24/7 by calling or texting 988 or by using the chat feature.

The free and confidential helpline connects individuals of any age who are experiencing a suicidal, mental health and/or substance abuse crisis with a trained counselor.

Individuals will be routed to the existing Wisconsin affiliated National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255), which still remains in effect.
