## Resource

Nebraska’s 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is booming—handling over a million calls, texts, and crises in just one year, more than doubling its first-year numbers. With 12,000 connections last fiscal year—10,000 first-timers—it’s clear people are finally turning to mental health support when they need it most. Launched nationwide in 2022 as a simple, 911-style number, 988 offers immediate, compassionate help, with 90% of calls managed locally and the rest routed to specialized services. The surge proves stigma is fading, and the goal is clear: make 988 as familiar and trusted as 911 for anyone in crisis.
