Join the Movement: Make 988 Impossible to Ignore

We’re not just raising awareness; we’re creating a moment.

In partnership with Michelle Barone RED, MHA Dutchess is launching the #988Challenge - a bold, creative, high-energy campaign with one mission:

Make "988" as recognizable as 911.

And we’re doing it in a way that’s impossible to scroll past.

Scream It. Sing It. Show It.

Scream it from the rooftops

Sing it like your favorite song

Show it through art, movement, or storytelling

However you express it, make it you. Make it fun. Make it unforgettable.

Because the more engaging it is, the more lives we reach.
