Breathe Participant, Jessica Viviana Hernandez [ [link removed] ]

"Meet Jessica, who has big plans to help other youths who have aged out of the foster care system. Los Angeles County launched the pilot program BREATHE to provide its residents the chance to ?breathe? easier knowing they are more financially secure. BREATHE is a guaranteed income pilot project that provides 1,000 eligible residents with $1,000 per month for three years, and additional 200 former Los Angeles County DCFS foster youth with $1,000 per month for two years. For those enrolled, it's more than a check; it's a path forward that's changing lives."

You can watch more stories like this on Channel 92 or 94 on most cable systems, or anytime here [ [link removed] ]. Catch up on LA County Close-Up?here [ [link removed] ].

*Who Do I Call for Help?*
Who Do I Call For Help? [ [link removed] ]

In an effort to properly route the most appropriate resources to emergencies, the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health has partnered with the Los Angeles County Sheriff?s Department [ [link removed] ], Los Angeles Police Department [ [link removed] ], Los Angeles County Fire Department [ [link removed] ], Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services [ [link removed] ], the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline [ [link removed] ], and 211 LA [ [link removed] ] to create the "Who Do I Call for Help?" campaign.

This initiative aims to increase awareness of what each County department and agency?s number can specifically provide to assist residents, especially during emergencies and in times of behavioral health-related crisis.

"Who Do I Call for Help?" also supports the County?s vision of Care First, Jails Last [ [link removed] ] to reduce its reliance on the incarceration system for human conditions such as mental illnesses and substance use disorders. A crucial element to realizing this vision is through Alternative Crisis Response [ [link removed] ], which aims to treat people experiencing a behavioral health crisis quickly, effectively, and at the least restrictive level of care possible to meet their immediate and long-term well-being needs.

To better support those needing behavioral health care and resources, feel free to download, print, and share these "Who Do I Call for Help?" materials with your loved ones and communities!
