King County offers crisis services, and it all starts with making sure people have someone to call when they are experiencing a mental health or substance use related crisis.

In honor of 988 Day and National Suicide Prevention Month, the Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) wants to make sure everyone feels comfortable making that call or text to 988 or the regional crisis line. Staff at Crisis Connections are always available to answer, talk, listen, and offer support.
