“No Call Goes Unanswered”: A Lifeline in Wyoming

As the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline becomes a 3-digit number, 988, I visit a call center in Wyoming, which had the highest suicide rate per capita in the US in 2020. If you or someone you love is at risk of harming themselves, or needs some help with mental health, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 800-273-8255. After July 16, you can just dial ‘988.’ Did you know we have a weekly email newsletter for the Death, Sex & Money community?
