The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a national network that provides assistance and links callers to crisis centers across the United States. It operates 24/7 and can be reached toll-free by dialing 9-8-8. This service offers support for those going through emotional challenges or contemplating suicide, providing an anonymous and compassionate space to share their stories.
It is crucial to note that while the 988 Lifeline is a valuable resource, in any immediate life-threatening situation, the emergency number 911 should be called without delay.
During this difficult time, the community extends its deepest condolences to the Hinkson family and encourages everyone to prioritize mental health, seek support, and reach out to those who may be struggling. Together, we can foster an environment of understanding and compassion to prevent further loss to suicide.
