"The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, H.R. 4194, is a bipartisan bill that would create an easy-to-remember 3-digit number as the nationwide hotline for suicide prevention and mental health crisis. This number will make it easier for people in the U.S. experiencing a crisis to receive immediate and appropriate mental health support and referral."

Suicide is preventableToo many lives are cut short by suicide. A new bill in Congress hopes to help change that. Ask your member of Congress to support the creation of an easy-to-remember 3-digit number as the nationwide hotline for suicide prevention & mental health crisis

If you or somebody you know is in mental health crisis, help is available. Text “NAMI” to 741741 or call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. This bill will shrink the Lifeline number to 3 digits, making it easier for people to use in an emergency. You're not alone, every citizen in the United States is negatively impacted either directly or indirectly by mental illness.
