988 Part 2 – Calling the Lifeline

Join us as we talk to Cory Hudnall, New Vista’s 988 Coordinator, and find out what it’s like to call into and receive calls for 988, the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

When you’re having a mental health crisis, call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988. Your calls are answered by local call centers staffed with trained mental health professionals. If you or someone you know are in crisis, call or text 988 or chat online at 988lifeline.org.

Find out more about New Vista at newvista.org or by calling our 24-Hour Helpline 1.800.928.8000.

Update – In the time since we recorded conversation, there are now 14 Community Mental Health Centers in Kentucky who take calls locally for 988.
