988 saves lives. The New York Times reported on Friday that the su***de rate among young people has declined since the launch of the three-digit number.
For the past three years, Argus has had the privilege of partnering with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline team to raise awareness of 988 and make it easier for people to reach out when they need it. Our work continues today, with important contributions from our friends at Market Street Research.
Seeing this data is a powerful reminder of why this work matters.
