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.
