988: Transforming Our Crisis Response
Free
Join NAMI Carroll County, NAMI Howard County and NAMI Metropolitan Baltimore to discuss efforts to transform our crisis response system for behavioral health. 988 will be the new three-digit number that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It will be available to everyone across the United States starting on July 16, 2022.
When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network, as well as local mental health resources and support systems.
