<p class="MsoNormal">With 988 expected to go live July 16 (<a href="https://doh.wa.gov/chk/node/14398">https://doh.wa.gov/chk/node/14398</a>), how are you/your colleges’ counseling resources planning to message this out to your students/campus community?

<p class="MsoNormal">I assume population-specific crisis resources would still be helpful to share, and I know the suicide prevention hotline and text line numbers don’t go away once 988 is live, just curious to hear your/your colleges’ messaging plans.<o:p></o:p></p>
