Abstract
At least 67% of Americans said they are aware of 988, which means they've at least heard of it, according to a new poll released by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) on the eve of the second anniversary of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Only 23% said they are at least somewhat familiar with 988. The poll is just one of two new resources, including a legislative brief, that highlight crucial steps policymakers should take to help people struggling with a mental health crisis.
