Pardon the repeat posting of several weeks ago, but since then I’ve become aware of how few people have heard about this. Because this is the start of National Mental Health Awareness Week, I though it bears repeating.
In 2020, Congress started a new number to help people experiencing a mental health crisis. It’s part of the already-existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline but is easier and quicker to access.
If you yourself or someone close to you is having a mental health crisis, call or text 988.
