Local, state, and federal officials were in Philly today as part of a kickoff event for 988 — a new national mental health hotline. “When you think 911, you think emergency and rescue. Starting tomorrow, when you hear 988, think crisis and rescue.'
“Our greatest disappointment was not getting the opportunity to help him,” said the chief executive of Consortium, a mental health crisis response center in West Philadelphia.
“There is no accident in our being here in Philadelphia,” Becerra told the roundtable. “It is because you made a commitment to make it work the right way.” McDonough emphasized the importance of 988 to the veteran population, which can reach the veteran crisis line by dialing 988 and pressing 1.
