New York State 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline connects you to trained crisis counselors 24/7. They can help anyone thinking about suicide, struggling with substance use, experiencing a mental health crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress. You can also call, text or chat 988 if you are worried about someone you care about who may need crisis support.
988 Now in ASL
Did you see the news that the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline service is now available in ASL 24/7? To connect directly to a 988 counselor in ASL, you may need to update your ntouch app, Lumina VP, or nVP2. If your product is not updated and you dial 988, you will still connect through a VRS interpreter. With the latest software update, you will connect directly to a 988 Lifeline ASL counselor.
