Suicides outside of those segments is also on the rise.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the establishment of the 988 national number those seeking help would have to dial a ten-digit number, 800-273-TALK (if they even knew it) to access help.\u00a0 The new number will be subject to an extensive public relations and marketing campaign to raise awareness and prompt those in crisis to use it and quickly get connected to help.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of this change cannot be over stated, is driven by the numbers.\u00a0 In 2018 more than 2.2 million calls were received by the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 163 crisis centers around the country.\u00a0 Also considered was the 10 million plus American adults that seriously contemplated committing suicide and 1.5 million that attempted it.\u00a0 Suicide rates have continued to rise since WWII and sadly 47,000 die annually by suicide.<\/p>\n<p>Making it easier for the millions of those in need was the exact focus of this major development.\u00a0 The existing 1-800-273-TALK is and has been savings lives and will remain active during the transition period and beyond.
