SHORTER NUMBER. BROADER MISSION.
Kentuckians in crisis can now connect with suicide prevention, mental health, and substance use counselors using a nationwide, easier-to-dial phone number – 988.
Phone service providers will now direct 988 calls to the existing national lifeline with its 14 Kentucky call centers. And connection to additional crisis services will be provided if necessary.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, someone to talk to is just a click away.
Our 988 Kentucky Dashboard is also available. View monthly data, reasons for calling, and more.
For 988 Call Centers and Partners, 988 KY marketing materials are available.
For general inquiries, contact 988@ky.gov
