About This Event
Supporting Individuals Living With A Mental Health Condition Through 988 & Mental Health Education
The month of May is designated as Mental Health Awareness Month, and it is the perfect time to pause and reflect on mental health issues, challenges, and opportunities. In a recent survey, an overwhelming majority of the public (90%) think that there is a mental health crisis in the U.S. today, with most people saying the opioid epidemic, mental health issues in children and teenagers, and severe mental illness are at crisis levels in the country.1 Join us in this webinar as our panelists discuss their experiences on preparing for a mental health crisis, share their perspectives on implementation and utility of 988, impact on emergency responders, and the importance of mental health education and training.
