VAMC system description

We work with behavioral health providers and community organizations to help you and your family during times of crisis. 

VA introduced an easy-to-remember number for Veterans and their loved ones to dial in times of crisis.

Now, if a Veteran is having thoughts of harming themselves or others, they can dial the Veterans Crisis Line with only 3 digits – 988. Veterans can press 1 to be connected to caring, qualified responders 24/7.

The new, shorter number directly addresses the need for ease of access and clarity in times of crisis, both for Veterans and non-Veterans alike. The old number you may have saved in your phone is still valid.

Veterans can still call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1, chat online or text 838255 to reach responders.

We offer:

  • Suicide prevention care coordinators
  • Suicide prevention case managers
  • Gun safety locks
