Signs of Hope
Making hope visible across East Tennessee — and reminding everyone that help is just three digits away: 988
What is Signs of Hope?
Signs of Hope is CONTACT Care Line’s community campaign to put the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline where people can see it — parks, bridges, storefronts, parking lots, schools, congregations, and campuses. Each sign says, “You are not alone. Help and hope are here.”
When you display a sign, you normalize help-seeking, reduce stigma, and spark life-saving conversations.
Why it Matters
Awareness
Many neighbors still don’t know about 988. Signs make the number unforgettable.
Stigma reduction
A visible message that it’s okay to ask for help.
Connection
The right sign at the right moment can remind someone they’re not alone.
