Hello -
An FYI
Starting July 16, people in mental health crisis will have a new way to reach out for help. Instead of dialing the current 10-digit National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, they can simply call or text the numbers 9-8-8.
"If you are willing to turn to someone in your moment of crisis, 988 will be there," said Xavier Becerra, the secretary of health and human services, at a recent press briefing. "988 won't be a busy signal, and 988 won't put you on hold. You will get help."

Thank you for sharing, SnoringDog.
I hope it saves some lives.
It is one of those ideas that are so obvious in hindsight: why didn’t they invent this years ago?
At any rate, this is progress.
