National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Number

September 20, 2024

You can dial 988 to be routed to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. (For TTY devices, dial 711 then 988). Options for veterans and callers needing language assistance are also available. Callers can talk about topics such as substance abuse, financial worries, relationships, sexual identity, depression, mental and physical illnesses, loneliness and more. On campus, the Community Response Team (CRT), established in the fall of 2023 within the Division of Public Safety, is an alternative first responder team available to assist Cornell students, faculty and staff during a crisis. Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) at Cornell Health is another great on-campus resource and offers 24/7 phone consultation.
