New 988 Lifeline Fact Sheets & Social Media Resources

Dear 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Partners,

As we continue working together to expand awareness of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, we’re sharing updated resources to support your outreach. This month’s materials include a 988 Fact Sheet and information to help partners explain the distinctions between 988 and 911. We invite you to explore and share the resources below across your communities.

988 Fact Sheet

The refreshed 988 Fact Sheet —one of our most downloaded resources—is now available in the 988 Partner Toolkit. This updated version offers an easy-to-share overview of what 988 is and what people can expect when contacting 988. It also features testimonials from people who have used 988, along with answers to frequently asked questions.

988 & 911 Fact Sheet and Social Media

Many people have questions about the difference between 988 and 911. We now have dedicated resources to help address them. The new 988 & 911 Key Difference Fact Sheet provides a high-level overview to support clear communication about when each service is the right fit. Complementary social media assets are also available in the 988 Partner Toolkit, making it easy to share accurate information across your channels.
