Dear 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Partners,
Thank you for your continued work and partnership to promote the 988 Lifeline. With Suicide Prevention Month approaching, we have added a couple of new social media shareables for your use in helping spread awareness about 988.
Also, as a reminder, this month is a good one to lift up the adult and youth suicide warning signs.
Spanish-Language: More New Materials
Thanks to every one of you who supported the launch of Spanish text and chat and have started to tell your communities about Spanish-language service.
We have continued to add Spanish-language marketing and awareness social media.
Please download and share them on your social media platforms, post them on your website, or tailor them to your own needs—along with all of the 988 Partner Toolkit materials.
