Eligible states and territories also can apply for up to $2 million in supplemental funding from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to expand 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline services, which provide 24/7 access to trained counselors through a three-digit phone, text and chat line for individuals experiencing a suicide, mental health or substance use crisis.
