This month marks the one-year anniversary of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. This line is a crucial resource for those experiencing a mental health crisis and needing immediate support. That’s why it’s imperative we ensure the 988 Lifeline is always operational so it can be available to people who truly need it in times of crisis.
Earlier this year, Senator Sinema and I introduced the 988 Lifeline Cybersecurity Responsibility Act to strengthen the cybersecurity protocols at the lifeline in response to a day-long outage which occurred in December 2022. We’re working to ensure an attack like this does not happen again.
