We’ve all had times when we felt overwhelmed, hopeless, and even like we didn’t want to live anymore. Sometimes it’s because we don’t have enough money and safe place to stay. Or we have struggles with alcohol or drugs. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to. Even if it’s in the middle of the night. Starting July 16, that will be as easy as dialing 988. Just like calling for an ambulance using 911. This new number will get you help for an emotional crisis right away.
