The National Suicide Prevention Line’s new number 9-8-8 has launched.
– The National Suicide Prevention Line’s new number 9-8-8 has launched in Harris County and nationwide on Saturday.“I think it’s needed,” he said.“I can actually help someone who is following the steps that I took,” Daigle said.“I broke my neck, my jaw, had some brain bleeds,” he recalled.
He suffered those injuries in a car crash. It left him in a coma for 20 days, and when he woke up, he learned his life had changed. “Getting told my best friend was killed in the same motor vehicle accident I was in was extremely heavy. That sent my life on a downward trajectory,” he said.“I was broken and didn’t believe I had any fight left in me and I was just... I was done. I had given up on myself,” he said.“I ate a whole bottle of prescription medication and I ended up going to the hospital,” he said“Telling myself I do have value,” he said.“We are going out every day, 24/7, 365,” she said.
In October 2020, the national suicide hotline designation act was signed into law. This means the once 11-digit national suicide prevention line will now be three digits -- 9-8-8. “We wouldn’t help someone who is having a heart attack, we would make sure to call to get them help, same with mental health. We want to address it,” Strang said.
