Crisis Connections, which is leading the implementation of the new 988 Crisis and Suicide Lifeline in the Seattle area, said the new national 3-digit hotline will make it easier to people to get help.
"Our 988 Crisis and Suicide Lifeline is an anonymous, confidential, and supportive place for people to turn when they are grappling with emotional distress," said Crisis Connections CEO Michelle McDaniel. "This can encompass a wide range of emotions and challenges, from depression and loneliness to substance use and concerns for a loved one. Our lifeline is a safe haven, a non-judgmental space where individuals can seek help and guidance to navigate their crises.
Regence BlueShield recognized the critical role Crisis Connections plays in the community and stepped forward with support for the Seattle nonprofit’s mission. "The grant from Regence was huge for us," McDaniel said. "It allowed us to focus on supporting our invaluable workforce – the dedicated individuals at Crisis Connections who are on the frontline, providing heroically compassionate support to our community during their most challenging moments.
