WHAT THE LAUNCH OF 988 MEANS FOR CRISIS CARE
STACEY FROHNAPFEL-HASSON, MPA, OCPC
APRIL 26TH, 12-1 P.M. EST
In July 2022, a 3-digit 988 number will revolutionize how people reach out for help in a suicidal, mental or substance use related crisis. National health advocates, the federal government and the Federal Communications Commission determined that a 911-like number is needed to support people in need of crisis care, especially for those experiencing suicide attempts or thoughts of suicide. A diverse swath of Ohio leadership and advocates in the field have been planning for implementation of 988. Learn how it can affect your campus community and outreach efforts.
Objectives
• Learn what 988 is and how it will change the front door for crisis care.
• Understand how the 988 network will work in Ohio.
• Begin to develop campus community plans for integration and service supports.
