Mental Health Supports
New in 2022
We can all help prevent suicide. The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals in the United States. 988 is now active across the United States. This new, shorter phone number will make it easier for people to remember and access mental health crisis services. (Please note, the previous 1-800-273-TALK (8255) number will continue to function indefinitely.)
If you are a student or the parent/guardian of a student who is experiencing a mental health crisis, such as suicidal thoughts or actions of self-harm, please call the Maryland Crisis Hotline:
Call: 800-422-0009
