Congress has designated "988" as the three digit dialing code to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline

DID YOU KNOW!?

Congress has designated "988" as the three digit dialing code to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline for anyone experiencing mental health or substance abuse crisis.  If you are in need, PLEASE use this service.  It will connect you to a local support center, located in Lawrence.  The Elizabeth Layton Center has always had a crisis line, which will still be active for clients and our community 24/7 (800-241-1266).

You have options.  If you are in need, please contact someone!

**Disclaimer** 988 is not a substitute for 911.  If you have a life threatening emergency that requires law enforcement, fire, or EMS, please continue to use 911.
