"Since its inception four years ago, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline has provided millions of Americans with a critical safety net during mental health emergencies.
The service offers free mental health counseling, any time, day or night — via call, text or chat.
But new research suggests that this resource is failing to reach those 50 and older."
