If someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent medical help, call 911 now.

United States

• Call or text 988 for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
• Chat online at 988lifeline.org.
• Veterans, service members, and their families can call 988, then press 1, or text 838255.
• Spanish-language support is available by calling 988 and pressing 2, texting AYUDA to 988, or using Spanish chat through 988 Lifeline.

988 is for mental health, substance use, emotional distress, and suicide-related crises. It can also be used when you are worried about someone else.

Symbolic outreach note: 988 + 11 = 999. In this project, 999 is a hope marker and remembrance signal, not a U.S. crisis line. For U.S. crisis support, use 988; outside the U.S., use your local emergency or crisis number.

Outside The United States

Use your local emergency number or local crisis line. If there is immediate physical danger, contact emergency services first.
