The 988 Lifeline
988 is now active across the United States. This new, shorter phone number will make it easier for people to remember and access mental health crisis services. (Please note, the previous 1-800-273-TALK (8255) number will continue to function indefinitely.) Click below to learn more about 988.
Mental Health and Wellness Terms
Words shape how we see our minds. When you understand mental health terms, big, scary labels turn into useful tools and vague worries can become clear next steps. A shared vocabulary helps you spot red flags earlier, ask sharper questions, and support friends with real empathy. It also makes appointments less confusing and self-advocacy more effective at school, work, and home.
