TUCSON, Ariz. — The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifelineincreased accessibility by adding American Sign Language services for the deaf and hard of hearing.
An “ASL Now” button was made available on the lifeline’s website on September 8. Direct dialing to 988 using a videophone is expected to be available in the coming weeks. “Many deaf individuals often don't have the ability to access services in their area. Many may feel isolated and often end up suffering in silence,” Soukup said.
