FAQ: Is the 988 Lifeline service still available in a state or an area that does not have a crisis center participating in the 988 Lifeline network?

Yes, the 988 Lifeline itself covers all areas of the country, even if there is no local crisis center participating in that area. It is our goal to have calls answered as locally as possible, so we are working on developing relationships in areas where there are no crisis centers in the network.
