How can our crisis center or mental health service organization join the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network?
Consideration for joining the network is based on a number of factors, including: • Certification by an accrediting body (e.g., AAS, JCAHO, CONTACT USA, CARF, AIRS, etc.). • Geographic coverage capacity. • Community needs. • Other variables regarding enhancing the network. Our goal is to have sufficient coverage and capacity by crisis centers in the network so that callers may be routed to local crisis centers that will provide crisis intervention, information, and referral according to callers’ needs. Please e-mail the Director of Network Development for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, Lidia Bernik, at lbernik@mhaofnyc.org if you are interested in having your crisis center join the network.
