NCDHHS Announces National 9-8-8 Number for People in Mental Health Crisis. Starting July 16, 2022, people in mental health crisis can dial 9-8-8 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and get immediately connected to trained crisis counselors 24/7. The new three digit number provides a faster, easier way to get the help already available at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). “Help is available to those experiencing a mental health crisis,” said NC DHHS Secretary Kody H. Kinsley. “Our goal is to make 9-8-8 a household word that North Carolinians know they can access from wherever they are to get the help they need.
