Last month, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted unanimously to expand access to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by requiring text messages sent to 988 be routed to the Lifeline beginning next July. This expansion is part of the FCC’s rule to establish 988 as the new national suicide prevention hotline by July 16, 2022.
