About the 988 Crisis Jam
A national three digit mental health and suicide prevention crisis hotline is probably the most significant public policy initiative impacting behavioral healthcare since Medicaid expansion. There are many questions that we all have and the learning collaborative is a forum for us to find solutions together. We are all seeking to learn about “best” practices to apply to 988 and crisis response system optimization. Increasing our collective knowledge is best achieved by engaging with subject matter experts, connecting with peers and other stakeholders, and sharing information. You will find this collaboration to be stimulating, energizing, and fun, while the content and interchange is both pragmatic and enriching. And besides you will be co-creating a better world.
