The Orono Coalition

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline offers safe, free, and non-judgmental support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for people experiencing emotional distress, substance use problems, or thoughts of suicide. Trained counselors can de-escalate a crisis, help create a safety plan, and connect people needing local treatment options or other support resources. They are also a helpful source of support, comfort and information for people worried about loved ones or friends.
