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!
Thanks, Fritz! You're the man! =) Tom
