The Ohio Council Urges Support for the Federal 988 Implementation Act

In July 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, the nation’s main connection point to suicide prevention, mental health, and substance use crisis response services, will officially transition to a new three-digit dialing code (9-8-8). The 988 Implementation Act (H.R. 7116) provides much-needed federal guidance and resources to enable states to establish their 9-8-8 systems and align crisis services ahead of July. Urge your legislators to support the 988 Implementation Act today here.
