More than 10 million calls, texts and chat messages have been answered by counselors on the 988 hotline since 2022, helping individuals with mental health concerns, amid a rising crisis exacerbated by the pandemic and societal pressures.
The 988 hotline marked an important bipartisan effort in federal health policy, with President Trump signing the law and the Biden administration expanding the network to over 200 call centers to address the increasing mental health needs of Americans.
