There will be a new and shorter phone number for what is known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Starting next Saturday, the phone number 9-8-8 will route callers to the Lifeline.
The network has trained counselors, who will listen and support callers who find themselves in distress.
People will also be able to text 9-8-8 and chat directly with a counselor.
The previous 1-800-273-8255 Lifeline phone number will still be active as well.
