Nevada 988 Rebrand

Nevada 988 has rebranded its statewide suicide prevention and crisis line to boost awareness about the three-digit number after research showed less than 20 percent of Nevadans were aware of 988.

Nevada 988 is the state’s resource for immediate emotional and mental health support, as well as substance use issues. Crisis counselors offer empathetic listening, support, and screenings for suicide risk 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through call, text or online chat.

The launch includes testimonial videos, public outreach, as well as a new user-friendly website. Residents are encouraged to save 988on their phones, share it with family and friends, and remember that help is available year-round. Dialing 988 connects you to a real human providing professional, trained support.
