988 Toolkit

In 2020 Congress approved 988 to transform how we serve people facing a mental health crisis by providing a safe, easy-to-remember alternative to 911. States must now fund their own crisis response systems that work for everyone by July 22. This toolkit was developed by chief executives of the nation’s leading mental health advocacy organizations and professional associations (“The CEO Huddle”) to help advocates spread the word.
