Police budgets have grown, but investment in non-carceral mental health support hasn't. This imbalance leads to police responses that often escalate trauma. Our report, "The Problem with 988," offers safer, consent-based solutions: https://t.co/JuvnDNNXdr

DID YOU KNOW 988 call centers can work with 911 to find your precise location without your consent? Geolocation allows emergency services, including police, to show up to a help-seeker’s’s location even if they’re on the move or turn their phone off.

#SuicidePreventionMonth #MentalHealthMatters #TransLifeline #SafeHotlines

[Campaign for Safe Hotlines @SafeHotlines]

This Suicide Prevention Month, we need to address the differences between suicide and crisis hotlines. Not all crisis hotlines approach “suicide prevention” the same way, and for people seeking support, these differences can have huge impacts. 🧵[1/7]

[Campaign for Safe Hotlines @SafeHotlines]

Knowing where to turn in a crisis can make all the difference. Reach out to organizations that align with your values and prioritize your well-being. Together, we can create safer, more supportive, and more compassionate suicide prevention and crisis care. 🧵[6/7]
