From nhowell at btc.edu Wed Jul 6 14:03:27 2022 From: nhowell at btc.edu (Nyssa Howell) Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2022 21:03:27 +0000 Subject: [Wctcca] 988 messaging? Message-ID: Hi everyone, With 988 expected to go live July 16 (https://doh.wa.gov/chk/node/14398), how are you/your colleges' counseling resources planning to message this out to your students/campus community? 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.
