More People Reaching Out for Help

New data shows more people in Wisconsin are using the suicide prevention hotline. 

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services said in a news release Friday that the 988 Wisconsin Lifeline received nearly 92-thousand contacts in the past year.  Nearly 80-percent of those contacts were phone calls, and the rest were either text messages or online chats.  Sunday marks one year since the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline became the three-digit phone number 988.
