According to the Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesotans are getting the mental health help they need via the 988 Minnesota Lifeline help line.

988 Minnesota Lifeline centers have answered over 370,000 contacts since the program launched in July 2022

Despite the growth in the use of 988, a lot of Minnesotans don't know about this resource or aren't sure about using it. If you know someone who could benefit from the helpline, let them know that the resource is available.

Minnesota created the "I am 988" video series to help teach people about the helpline and who is on the other end.
