Louisiana Mental Health Coalition

Starting July 16th, when you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, calling 988 will connect you to a local crisis center and a live specialist trained in emotional support, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention. To help navigate possible confusion about what 988 means and how it is different from 211 or 911, VIA LINK, Inc./2-1-1 created this quick reference flyer. Please repost and share this information with your family, friends, and networks to help get the word out.
