It is expected that this program will increase service capacity and improve behavioral health outcomes by preventing death or injury as a result of suicide and suicide attempts and assisting individuals and communities recover from disasters and traumatic events by providing community-based behavioral health outreach, referral to and engagement with treatment as necessary, and psycho-educational services. The Lifeline is a 24/7 confidential suicide prevention hotline and chat network for anyone in the United States experiencing a suicidal crisis or emotional distress. Callers can call a single toll-free number (1-800-273-TALK) to be routed to the closest certified crisis center within the Lifeline network.
