Sunday was the nation’s first ever 9-8-8 Day, and the Family and Social Services Administration is calling on all Indiana communities to spread awareness.

According to the FSSA, the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline has shown signs of success, with the number of Hoosiers calling to receive services more than doubling since its launch two years ago.

You can call or text 9-8-8 any time for free and confidential support from a lifeline counselor.

Earlier this year, Indiana was chosen to participate in a federal pilot program to boost mental health and addiction care services.
