The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020 (NSHD) designated 9-8-8 as the new three-digit number for the national suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline. As the nation’s most populous state, California experiences the largest number of calls to 988. In 2020, about 1 out of 8 calls to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (NSPL) originated in California. To handle this volume, a network of 12 local California Lifeline Crisis Centers provide free and confidential emotional support to individual 988 callers from all 58 counties who are in behavioral health crisis.​​  

危機線員工和志願者為自殺預防和行為健康危機線上提供 24 小時，每週 7 天，一年 365 天，促進自殺預防和行為健康危機線服務。 危機線員工和志願者提供與 NSPL 指南一致的初始自殺風險篩選和評估，提供緩解情況，並為客戶提供信息和轉介，以將客戶與患有危機的客戶或危機人士城市或縣的適當社區資源（如果已知並可用）聯繫起來。​​
