According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 1 in 5 U.S. adults recently experienced a mental illness. But now, 988 is live and people in need have a lifeline.

988 is the new three-digit dialing code routing callers to the Mental Health Crisis Lifeline. Across the country, states must comply with federal law and develop a plan and infrastructure to support their communities’ adoption of 988 services. Bamboo Health is here to be the partner state government leaders need in supporting that plan and providing the necessary infrastructure, along with sharing expert guidance around securing federal funding.
Developing a comprehensive behavioral health crisis management system is essential to closing the gaps in care your state residents are currently facing. When you partner with Bamboo health and use our Crisis Management System, you’ll find incredible benefits such as:

  • Real-time situational awareness, connecting all crisis stakeholders
  • A direct link between crisis call center professionals and mobile crisis response teams
  • Reduced administrative burden around manually coordinating and searching for beds
  • Tracking of response steps and time stamps from intake to final disposition

Bamboo Health’s Crisis Management Playbook can help you learn more about 988 and how you can provide your state’s communities with effective crisis management to improve public health.
