FCC Designates 988 for National Suicide Prevention Hotline

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted rules to establish 988 as the new national suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline. The rules require all phone service providers to direct 988 calls to the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by July 16, 2022. During the transition to 988, individuals who need help should continue to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) by calling 1-800-273-8255 (1-800-273-TALK) or by chatting online. Service members and veterans can reach the Veterans Crisis Line by calling the Lifeline and pressing 1, chatting online, or texting 838255.

Learn more about our

Crisis Services here washtenaw.org

Crisis Residential Services (CRS) is a six bed, 24/7 crisis home intended as a short term alternative to inpatient psychiatric services for individuals experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis. Individuals need to meet inpatient criteria but can be served in a setting that is less intensive than an inpatient hospital.

CRS services include:

• Therapeutic supports

• Nursing services

• Case management

• Behavioral services

• Medication management, stabilization and education

CARES

Our CARES team is a new team of mental health professionals, peer support specialists, and case managers, nurses and psychiatry that was created using Millage dollars. The goal of the team is to provide short term stabilization services to individuals who are unable to access mental health care in the community.

CARES provides mental health care to individuals who are unable to access community mental health services because of their insurance or their severity level. Services that are provided by this team include individual and group therapy, case management, peer support, psychiatry and nursing.

In order to access these services, call 734-544-3050

The Family Acceptance Project (FAP) is providing a free full-day training on April 25 in Detroit, MI for health, mental health, social service and school-based providers, families and religious leaders on FAP’s research-based family support approach for helping diverse families learn to support their LGBT children.
