This weekend, @samhsagov launched the #988Lifeline as a complement to 911. People experiencing mental health crises can text or call 988, connecting with trained counselors and reducing unnecessary contact with law enforcement. #988forPublicSafety

@FireGtc @UChiEngagement @UChiUrbanLabs We agree!

NEW: A handful of cities–including Austin, Texas–are bringing mental health experts into 911 call centers so that dispatchers know which responder to send to provide “the right care, at the right place, at the right time.”
