Ohio's 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline Reaches One Million Contacts

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced last week that Ohio’s 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline has responded to more than one million calls, text messages, and online chats since launching in July 2022. The achievement highlights the importance of accessible, 24/7 crisis support for Ohioans and recognizes the dedicated professionals who respond to calls for help every day.

Ohio’s 988 call centers are staffed by specialists trained to respond to crises, provide support, and connect individuals with resources in their communities. So far this year, these specialists have responded to an average of more than 30,000 contacts each month.

To learn more about Ohio’s suicide prevention efforts, visit 988.ohio.gov. Ohioans can also explore the Ohio 988 Toolkit, which offers downloadable fact sheets, posters, logos, and social media shareables. The toolkit’s Materials Generator allows community groups, faith organizations, businesses, schools, and others to create free, customizable resources to raise awareness about 988 and promote access to crisis support.
