I recently heard a segment on the radio which discussed suicide, and it ended with the host giving the common "If you are in crisis, then resources are available..." statement.

The contact details were a 10-digit phone number which wasn't easy to remember, or to text a 5-digit number to a different 5-digit number. The specifics went in one ear and out the other. I was driving at the time, but I would have struggled to remember them long enough to find a pen if I was at home!

If instead, it was to call or text 988, then that would have been much more memorable! I hope this saves lives!
