In observance of National Suicide Prevention Month, The Wellness Council of Greater Colorado Valley is conducting an awareness campaign throughout Colorado County. The focus is to get the word out, particularly about the 988 National Hotline that is available 24/7 at no cost to anyone who calls.
The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is a national network of local crisis centers that provide free and confidential support for anyone experiencing mental health-related distress – whether that is thoughts of suicide, mental health or substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress.
People can call or text 988 or chat on the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline Website for themselves or if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support. 988 serves as a universal entry point so that no matter where you live in the United States, you can reach a trained crisis counselor who can help, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
