President Trump is receiving praise by Colorado Senator Cory Gardner for signing his legislation that would shorten the suicide hotline. The hotline is currently ten digits to three easy-to-remember numbers: 9-8-8.
1-800-273-8255 (TALK) will be changed to a universal 9-8-8 number in what is a bipartisan piece of legislation.

Senator Gardner stated, "COVID19 has increased our state’s mental health needs, and during this unprecedented challenge suicide prevention is more important than ever. This change to 9-8-8 will make it easier for Americans dealing with a crisis to access mental health support that could be life-saving."
