Associate Director of Crisis Jane Granzier said, “988 is a vehicle to get people in front of behavioral health providers and crisis clinicians who ideally can triage and say, ‘this can be managed by phone and monitoring and checking back in.’ Sometimes it’s the support we offer to parents about helping to link a child or adolescent that makes all the difference.
