Fox News
The new Suicide and Crisis lifeline went live six months ago and the number of calls, texts and chats that have been initiated since have poured in.
The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act authorized 988 as a new three-digit number for suicide and mental health crisis and was signed into law by then-President Donald Trump after the passage of bipartisan legislation in 2020. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
After the launch of 988 in July, calls began to pour in.
