988 Federal Changes
Effective July 17, 2025, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will undergo a change in its call routing options. The specialized “Press 3” option for LGBTQIA+ support will be discontinued nationwide. We understand this change may be disheartening, especially for those who have relied on this affirming and culturally responsive service. Please know Greater Twin Cities United Way’s 988 Lifeline remains fully operational and committed to supporting everyone in crisis, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community. We are preparing for an increase in call volume and are working closely with the Minnesota Department of Health to ensure we have the staffing and resources needed to continue providing compassionate, inclusive care. Please continue to call or text 988 if you need support.
211 Tools
We recently launched an updated search experience at 211unitedway.org that features a more intuitive, user-friendly design and lets you save your favorite resources for quick access. Email [email protected] if you have a group that would benefit from an overview of the new website features.
We are also excited to share a new video created to raise awareness of 211 and the vital support we offer across Minnesota. Check out this short and sweet video introduction to 211 — also available in Spanish, Hmong, and soon, Somali!
