Help get #988, the new Suicide and Crisis Helpline, printed on student ID cards. Support HB2136!
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people, and printing 988 on student ID cards would help students access needed support. Every year in the U.S., more people die by suicide than in car accidents, and more suicide deaths occur than homicides and AIDS deaths combined. HB2136 will ensure that students in Missouri will have access to the new 988 number at their fingertips — right on their student id card.
988, the Suicide and Crisis Helpline, is an easy to remember number that will provide a direct connection to compassionate, accessible care and support for anyone experiencing mental health related distress – whether that is thoughts of suicide, mental health or substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress. 988 launches on July 16, 2022.
