In 2020, nearly 46,000 people died by suicide; that is one death every 11 minutes. The new three-digit dialing code should be easier to access and remember than the 1-800-SUICIDE number, according to the 988 messaging website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illinois officials point out they are working to fulfill the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration mandate to give those experiencing a mental health crisis \u201esomeone to call, someone to respond.\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting Saturday, July 16, individuals experiencing a mental health crisis or emotional distress will be able to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by texting or calling 988. Those who are not in a current crisis, but are looking for mental health treatment options, can call 1-800-662-HELP (4357), according to state officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illinois health officials say they have dedicated nearly $15 million to efforts to increase staffing at the 988 crisis response center.
