What happens when I call the crisis number above?
​Step 1 of 5 First, you’ll hear a message that gives you service selection options.
Listen to the pre-recorded message (mp3).
Step 2 of 5 We’ll play some hold music while you are connected to a counselor with our Spanish-language, LGBTQI+ services, or your local 988 Lifeline contact center. For veterans, the phone will ring until a counselor can answer your call.
Step 3 of 5 A counselor will say hello and introduce themselves.
Step 4 of 5 Your skilled counselor will ask you if you are safe.
Step 5 of 5 After they ask about your safety, your counselor will listen to you, understand how your problem is affecting you, provide support, and share any resources that may be helpful.


How to know if you, or someone close to you, are in crisis:
Sometimes a crisis may involve thoughts of suicide. Learn to recognize these other warning signs:
  • Hopelessness, feeling like there’s no way out
  • Anxiety, agitation, sleeplessness, or mood swings
  • Feeling like there is no reason to live
  • Rage or anger
  • Engaging in risky activities without thinking
  • Increasing alcohol or drug abuse
  • Withdrawing from family and friends                                                                                                                       
The following signs require immediate (9-1-1) attention:
  • Thinking about hurting or killing yourself or someone else
  • Looking for ways to kill yourself or others
  • Talking about death, dying, or suicide
  • Self-destructive behavior such as drug abuse, weapons, etc.
