NHTSA -988 and EMS Working Together to Improve Mental Health Crisis Response
Thursday, July 21, 2022, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM CDT
Category: Member Organization Event
RegisterHosted by NHTSA’s Office of EMS in collaboration with the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), this webinar will discuss opportunities for collaboration between the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988), crisis response, and EMS communities. Launched in July, 988 will be a new three-digit number for the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This system, in collaboration with 911 centers and first responders, is designed to support nationwide improvements in behavioral and mental health emergency responses. EMS clinicians will hear from peers already engaging with 988 and crisis response teams about challenges and successes, and how to navigate interoperability between 911, 988, and EMS to make a meaningful difference in their communities.
