What is 988?
The Veterans Crisis Line's new number—988 then Press 1—helps make it easier to remember and share the number to access help in times of need. Signed into law in 2020, the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act authorized 988 as the new three-digit number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. As part of the law, all telephone service providers in the U.S. had to activate the number no later than July 16, 2022.


Veterans can use this new option by dialing 988 and pressing 1 to contact the Veterans Crisis Line. Veterans may still reach the Veterans Crisis Line with the previous phone number—1-800-273-8255 and Press 1—by text (838255), and through chat (VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat).

About

Have you recently returned home from active service? Or are you currently serving or have served in the National Guard or Reserve?  It may be in your best interest to come see me as soon as possible.  I’ve recently been informed that there are National Guard members; who served 20 years and had a Line of Duty (LOD) injury, that never received a disability rating. 

I think it is important for service members nearing end of active duty or recently discharged service members to learn about the benefits they can receive after service. 


To contact me for help or to set up time to meet and see what we can locate for you, please call my office at 715-793-4036.
