988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
The Missouri 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline has launched a new website: www.missouri988.org. The site provides information for anyone who may be experiencing a mental health, suicide, or substance use crisis.

1683919555080

The newly designated 988 phone number went live nationwide on July 16, 2022. Since that time, it has routed thousands of individuals to local, trained crisis specialists at Missouri’s 988 centers. The 988 crisis line connects anyone experiencing a mental health, suicide, or substance use crisis to compassionate, accessible care and support, available 24/7. Support is free and confidential.

Learn more about the new website at www.missouri988.org. Need to talk or get immediate help in a crisis? Help is available. If you or someone you know needs support call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org.
