Seth Moulton and Chris Stewart Tackle Suicide Prevention

Congressman Seth Moulton and Congressman Chris Stewart are introducing The National Suicide Hotline Designation Act. The bill would designate ‘9–8–8’ as a telephone number for a national hotline for suicide prevention and mental health crises.

The FCC has also written a student recommending ‘9–8–8’ as the best three-digit code for the hotline.

Seth Moulton has been outspoken about his experience managing PTSD and active in calling for mental health check-ups for the Armed Forces. His advocacy in this area includes an amendment to the National Defense of Authorization Act that requires service members to get a mental health checkup within 14 days of leaving the battlefield.
