Nevada's Crisis Response System

Here to Listen, Here to Help. 

When you reach out to 988, someone is ready and listening to help you feel better right now. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year, qualified counselors at Nevada 988 are available through call, text and online chat. 

988 prioritizes empathy and confidentiality in all of its interactions. Users can be connected to long-term resources and help that is local to their area, only when its wanted. 

To reach out to 988, or learn more about how it works, visit the national 988 Website.

In collaboration with the Division of Public and Behavioral Health, NAMI Nevada hosts a statewide network of stakeholders in the Crisis Response System. This coalition exists to serve as a space to share issues, ideas and plans with the goal of fostering statewide cooperation and a unified Crisis Response System.

Under Nevada law, a $0.35 surcharge is collected each month on all phone numbers that have a Nevada area code. This funding can only be used to support crisis services in the state and must support the administration of Nevada 988.

This surcharge generates between $14,000,000 and $15,000,000 each year. To ensure the public remains informed, DPBH updates the fees collected each month for the current calendar year on this webpage.

State-based reports on the number of calls, texts and chats fielded by Nevada 988 each month are available online through Vibrant Emotional Health, the national administrator of the 988 Lifeline.
