 and really give people help when they need it most. Manley emphasized a common misperception is the 988 system uses geolocation, which is a capacity the system does not have. When someone calls 988, they can stay as anonymous as they would like, and they do not have to reveal their location. So with that, you do not have to fear police showing up at your door or something like that, like what happened with 911. So feel free to call 988. You are safe to stay anonymous.
