Here is the 988 Suicide Crisis & Lifeline Toolkit released yesterday by the Department of Human Services (DHS) where beginning on July 16th, you may call or text 988, or chat 988lifeline.org, if you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide or experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. As you may recall, Governor Murphy recently signed into law A-2036/S-311 (Benson D-14/Verrelli D-15)(Vitale D-19/Gopal D-11) as P.L. 2022, c.35 to establish a comprehensive statewide behavioral health crisis system of care of which the 988 Hotline is a key component.
