September 8th is , a national day dedicated to raising awareness about the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. As an organization dedicated to behavioral health education and advocacy, OOOMD believes that the 988 Lifeline is a crucial resource for anyone who has experienced isolation, mental health, substance use, or other behavioral health challenges.

A common barrier preventing people from reaching out is asking: "Is what I’m going through bad enough to call?"

The answer is simple: If you need support, it is reason enough.

You do not have to be in an extreme or life-threatening crisis to contact 988. The Lifeline is here for a wide spectrum of mental health and emotional needs, including:

➡️ Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or lonely
➡️ Managing substance use or drinking concerns
➡️ Processing trauma, stress, or emotional burnout
➡️ Thoughts of self-harm or su***de
➡️ Looking for local care resources for yourself or a loved one

When you contact 988, you are connected directly to compassionate, trained support who can provide resources and support – 24/7, free, and confidential.

Swipe through to see how 988 works, how it differs from 911, and key reasons to reach out.

Whatever you’re experiencing, you don’t have to carry it alone. Help is just three digits away.

📲 Call, text, or chat 988 anytime. Visit 988lifeline.org to learn more or chat to receive support.
