Answering the Call

Greetings Crisis Call Centers,
The 988 Collaborative is launching an effort to showcase the work being done by local crisis centers across the nation to advocate for funding designation in preparation for the 988 rollout. While 911 and 988 share similarities in accessing life-saving services, there is a categorical difference in the nature of our work. Our centers resolve the majority of concerns in house – without dispatch. Providing least restrictive, cost effective care to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. Our call centers are empowering, innovative, and efficient – it is imperative for policy makers to understand the value of our centers and fund continued successful services as 988 rolls out next year.

The following survey will aid the collaborative in developing narratives, visuals and media to highlight the work of centers across the country.
You must be a current National Suicide Prevention Lifeline center to complete this survey.
