In July 2022, the 10-digit National Suicide Prevention Lifeline was converted into an easy-to-remember 3-digit hotline — 988. Mental health advocates saw the launch of this new number as a rare opportunity to connect millions more people in crisis with faster, safer and easier access to help during the moments they need it most. But creating a new phone number is not as simple as flipping a switch, especially when people experiencing serious mental health crises are at one end of the line.
