Suicide Prevention Hotline

The rollout of the relatively new crisis lifeline has been uneven across Mountain West states. Wyoming has some of the highest response rates at 90%, while Nevada’s is at 68%.

Last summer, the nation got a new three-digit suicide prevention number: 988. A new analysis found the in-state answer rates so far vary widely, especially in the Mountain West.

In July, the nation got a new three-digit suicide prevention number – 988. A new analysis found the hotline’s call volume jumped 45% in August compared to August 2021, with the number of callers roughly doubling in two states in the Mountain West.

Anyone in the US experiencing emotional distress can now text or call one three digit number to get help.
