By July 2022, people in mental health crisis will be able to access help by dialing 988. But what help will be available when they make that call? Our state needs to act quickly to make crisis services available. Read NAMI’s statement on what is needed: bit.ly/2TlHDLO Note: 988 will not be available nationwide until July 2022. If you are experiencing a crisis now, call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text “NAMI” to 741741.
