What Happens When You Call 988? | Help Before a Crisis Becomes Tragedy

In this special Deep Dive True Crime interview, Mentour Lawyer speaks with Caitlin, a board member of a local organization involved in providing 988 crisis services, about how the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline works, who can call, what kind of help is available, and when 988 may be a better option than 911. We also discuss how friends and family members can use 988 when someone they care about is in crisis, what callers can expect when they reach the line, and how 988 connects people with additional support and local resources. For many people, the biggest obstacle is simply not knowing that 988 exists—or not knowing when it is appropriate to call. This interview is intended to help change that.
