Veterans Crisis Line Has a New Number—Dial 988 then Press 1
Veterans Health Administration sent this bulletin at 07/18/2022 06:03 PM EDT
As of July 16, 2022, Veterans and their loved ones are able to use a new, easy-to-remember number—Dial 988 then Press 1—to reach caring, qualified responders 24/7. VA relies on you to familiarize yourself with 988 and spread the word about the new number.
Reach out to your networks to make sure Veterans and their loved ones know there is a new, easy-to-remember way to reach trained responders at the Veterans Crisis Line: Dial 988 then Press 1. The number is new, but the support is the same.
After activation, Veterans can still call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1 to reach responders.
COVID-19 vaccines: All Veterans, spouses and caregivers can get a COVID-19 vaccine at VA by appointment or walk-in clinic. Visit our vaccine information page
Prepare for a visit: Everyone entering our facilities is screened, and visitors are limited. Face coverings are mandatory. For some needs, you may be able to get care at home by phone or video. You can also request COVID-19 test kits for FREE at COVID.gov/tests.
