[VIRTUAL] Advancing Crisis Communications: Highlighting Models of 911/988 Collaboration

Counties are leading the development, modernization and infrastructure of local crisis response systems as communities' mental and behavioral health needs continue to grow. One critical strategy is implementing the 988 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in coordination with existing 911 emergency response systems. This webinar will highlight models of 988/911 collaboration, including recommendations for planning and implementation. Panelists will discuss progress, challenges and lessons learned from advancing their communities' crisis response systems. Hosted by the National Association of Counties (NACo) in partnership with RAND and The Pew Charitable Trusts, this presentation will include representatives featured in NACo's and RAND's respective publications on 988/911 collaboration.
