What is the Military and Veterans Crisis Line?

The Military and Veterans Crisis Line is a free and confidential resource available 24/7/365. Service members, including members of the National Guard and Reserves, along with their loved ones can:

  • Call 988 or 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1
  • Chat online VeteransCrisisLine.net
  • Send a text message to 838255
  • If you can’t reach the Veterans Crisis Line through phone dialing, you can use the chat service, available online in all locations with an internet connection at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat.
