National Suicide Hotline is now 9-8-8!

 This is great news for America!  On Saturday the President signed S.2611, the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020, into law.  This designates 9-8-8 as the universal telephone number for the purpose of the suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline system.

We've all heard about "22 a day" for veterans.  While that number seems to be debated now the fact remains that one suicide is one too many!  During these tough COVID-19 times, the suicide rate is going up.

Please continue spreading the word that help is available...and now it is only three digits away!
