Exciting to see the launch of 988 in Canada! It is more critical than ever to build comprehensive and well-coordinated behavioural health crisis systems, including mobile response teams, crisis facilities, and post-crisis care, to support the successful implementation of 988 and facilitate appropriate crisis care. For anyone interested in what this might look like, I suggest reading this article (link below) by Margie Balfour, and Scott Zeller written shortly after the launch of 988 in the United States. https://lnkd.in/gFTuGHxQ
