If you need to talk, the 988 Lifeline is here.

At the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 988Lifeline.org we understand that life's challenges can sometimes be difficult. Whether you're facing mental health struggles, emotional distress, alcohol or drug use concerns, or just need someone to talk to, our caring counselors are here for you. You are not alone.

Beginning April 9, Ohio law requires city, local, and exempted village school districts, chartered nonpublic schools, community schools, STEM schools, and college-preparatory boarding schools serving students in grades 9-12 to include the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline telephone number on student identification cards, planners, and electronic portals, if provided or used by the school.
