Description:

Many people experience suicidal crisis or mental health-related distress without the support and care they need. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline helps thousands of people in emotional crisis every day.

Attend this webinar to learn how to support and connect your patient & health care worker community to Washington’s 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. This presentation offers an overview of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: the history, training of counselors, line availability, how to access the line, what happens when someone contacts 988, and resources to share with your communities. The 988 Lifeline helps anyone in emotional crisis and features specialized lines for Veterans, Spanish speakers and other languages, LGBTQIA+ youth, and a Native and Strong lifeline.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Recognize your role within the 988-crisis line. 
  2. Understand how to integrate 988 Lifeline resources into your practice and community. 
  3. Explain the 988 Lifeline and available resources with staff as well as the populations you serve. 
  4. Differentiate between uses of the 988 Lifeline resources versus other 3- digit resource numbers (211, 911).

Elizabeth Emmett, Community Engagement Coordinator for the department’s 988 Suicide & Crisis Line program, will be the presenter for the event. The webinar will be recorded and there will be live ASL interpretation. Continuing education credit for nurses and medical assistants is available.
