The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline launched a new service to offer American Sign Language video calls for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Johnson explained that ASL services have been part of the vision for 988 since the beginning, calling the moment an important “milestone,” coming just after the Lifeline’s first anniversary at its new number. “Being able to speak in the language that you are used to speaking in, and being able to do that via ASL I think will reach a broader part of the population,” she added. “And the ASL video services certainly create another point of engagement, that I think better supports that access to care.”
DeafLEAD CEO Dr. Stephanie Logan said in a release her organization is “deeply honored to be a part of this historical moment.”
