What was the previous one?
in the UK it tends to be
Samaritans 116 123
NHS Direct 111
Emergency 999 where you or someone else has done something life threatening.
would be good having a three number approach here.
666 would be ideal.

Yes, but this is more than suicide. It is for any mental health emergency. I do not think they would be amused if I called them and said my kids are driving me crazy.

As they say you learn something new every day & all I can say is that when people call 988 I hope they don’t get a busy signal.

  @bean2k21 It's advertised all the time. There are a number of crisis hotlines. Suicide, gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, teenage runaways, etcetera...
