Know who you would call
before you need to.

Make your own list: the people you trust and what each one is good for, the adults at school, what helps you reset and how you want people to help. Print it, or print the wallet card. 988 is on every copy.

How to use it

  1. Add two or three people you trust and choose what each one is good for.
  2. Add the adults at school, where to find them and how to ask to see them.
  3. Write down places and things that help, and how you want people to help you.
  4. Tick the setup steps: save the numbers, tell the people they are on your list, find the counselor’s office.
  5. Print it or keep a photo. Update it each term or when things change.

You can go straight to the center any time. You do not have to try the outer circles first.

Make it before a hard day

When you are upset it is harder to think of who to call. A list made on an ordinary day means the decision is already made, and telling people they are on it makes it easier to reach out later.

About 988

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is free and open 24 hours a day by call or text, and by chat at 988lifeline.org. You can reach out for yourself or for someone you are worried about. This page is a planning tool. It does not diagnose, treat or replace help from a person.
