Georgia 988 Lifeline

Mental Health · Georgia · Free

24/7 free confidential crisis support for Georgia. Call or text 988. Worth contacting for caregivers experiencing burnout, anticipatory grief, or post-caregiving depression after a loved one's death. Most therapy practices accept Medicare Part B (covers 80% after deductible) and Medicare Advantage plans. Older adults have the highest suicide rate of any age group — calling 988 isn't only for young people, and it doesn't generate a record. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
