When you’re facing a mental health crisis, it’s important to know who to call.

Dial
911 for immediate threats to life or safety that require police, fire, or EMS response. But if you’re experiencing emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or a mental health crisis, reach out to 988-you’ll be connected with trained counselors who provide compassionate support and connect you to local services.

Most 988 calls are handled without involving law enforcement, making it a sater and more supportive option for many mental health situations. Call, text, or chat 988 anytime-help is here for you.

Go Lime Green: Mental Health Matters is back for another powerful season! Since launching in 2021, this initiative has reached nearly 100 schools across South Carolina (and even one in Chicago!) — bringing mental health education, student-led coping strategies, and community awareness to the forefront.

Each game is more than just sports — it’s about spirit weeks, student engagement, powerful messages from Hayden Hurst & Ryan Hilinski, and a commitment to building a culture of support. Schools also take the next step by hosting Ending the Silence presentations for students, families, and staff.
