Thanks to the Wauwatosa Police Department for the information below.

You never know when a crisis may arise and starting tomorrow, help is just three digits away.

Beginning July 16, 988 will be the new national su***de prevention lifeline and mental health crisis hotline number. The three digit number is designed to be as easy to remember and use as 911, but instead of a dispatcher sending police, firefighters or paramedics, 988 will connect callers with trained mental health counselors.

You can call or text 988 or visit www.988lifeline.org, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to speak with a trained counselor. If you are in the midst of a mental health emergency, you are not alone, and there are resources available to help.
