988 IS NOW IN EFFECT!
Beginning July 16, 2022, people in a mental health or addiction crisis can access the Lifeline via 988 or by the 10-digit number 1-800-273-8255 (which will not go away).
Ohio has 19 Lifeline providers who are actively answering calls in Ohio. Our goal is that all Ohio callers receive answers to their calls from trained Lifeline counselors operating in-state.
