On a very special episode of The Crow and The Raven, we deliver a HUGE announcement! We're going to need your help with this one!
We then discuss mental health, but no where near as generalized as before This time we share our personal experiences, check-in with one another's current mental health state, and help each other cope.
Signed into law in 2020, the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act authorized 988 as the new three-digit number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. As part of the law, all telephone service providers in the U.S. had to activate the number no later than July 16, 2022.
Veterans can use this new option by dialing 988 and pressing 1 to contact the Veterans Crisis Line. Veterans may still reach the Veterans Crisis Line with the previous phone number—1-800-273-8255 and Press 1—by text (838255), and through chat (VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat).
