  • NADD is pleased to share this virtual event hosted by the Link Center. Building Inclusive 988/Crisis Lifeline Systems State Policy Academy: Early Learnings Monday, January 27, 2025 | 2:00-3:30 p.m. ET As states build robust 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline systems, there is a growing recognition that siloed service delivery systems often contribute to a lack of access to trauma-informed clinical and support services for individuals experiencing a crisis who have intellectual or developmental disabilities (I/DD), brain injuries, or cognitive impairments. This lack of access can lead to adverse outcomes, such as hospital emergency department use or admissions into settings that may exacerbate already difficult circumstances. ACL and The Link Center, in partnership with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, convened a state policy academy to build strong, collaborative service systems that enable states to effectively support individuals in crisis regardless of disability and/or communication differences. Join this webinar to hear from individuals who have experienced crises and learn how their states are building inclusive crisis response systems available to everyone. Live captioning and ASL interpretation will be provided during this webinar. Contact TheLinkCenter@nasddds.org for any questions about the event. No advanced registration is required. https://lnkd.in/e35H4aq5 NADD is proud to be working together with the Link Center: https://lnkd.in/eGC9-yme
