When to Contact 988
One in five New Yorkers suffer from a mental health problem or substance use disorder, and too many go untreated. Mental illness and substance use disorders are both treatable, but only if those in need can connect to care. 988 is an easy starting point for New Yorkers to find mental health and substance use support.
988 could help you or someone you know if you are:
Worried about the negative impact drugs or alcohol are having.
Feeling stressed, overwhelmed and struggling with daily activities.
Looking for mental health or substance use providers in your area.
Having thoughts about hurting or killing yourself.
Concerned about changes in the behavior of someone you care about.

988's counselors and peer specialists are trained to listen to you and provide the following services:
Short-term counseling
Suicide prevention and other crisis intervention
Peer support
Information and referral
Short-term Counseling
Short-term counseling can provide support, coping strategies, and techniques for maintaining healthy living while you wait to receive longer-term care. Short-term counseling can vary in frequency and length depending on the need.
Suicide Prevention and Other Crisis Intervention
988 may conduct risk assessments to determine the appropriate crisis intervention service, including:
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
Mobile Crisis Teams (MCT)
Outpatient detox
Peer Support
Peer Support Specialists have been trained to use their own experiences with mental illness and behavioral health care to support others through difficult or crisis situations. Peer Support Specialists provide appropriate, compassionate and effective support, crisis diversion and information and referral. This service is intended for callers who specifically request peer support or otherwise may benefit from the service.
Information and Referral
988 will provide information and referrals for a variety of mental health and substance use services. Referrals are determined based on the specific needs of the individual — including the most convenient location, language needs and insurance requirements.
