In 2021, the state Legislature passed a law requiring us to develop standards for crisis call centers to become crisis call center hubs. To help create these rules, we will host three listening sessions. We want to hear from people who have used crisis call lines for themselves or for others, crisis call center staff, crisis responders, and others. We want to learn how our rules related to 988 crisis call center hubs standards could affect you. We will also conduct two workshops to help write the rules.
