Can the New 9-8-8 Crisis Lifeline Help Save Lives? | 31

There’s a new number in town! One that’s so needed, and so ready to be there for us when we need it most. It’s 9-8-8.

On this episode of Call Me Curious, Nikki and Malone talk to Chief Officer of the new 988 Lifeline, Dr. John Draper, and mental health activist Dior Vargas about the hardships of mental health crisis, the power of crisis support, and the creation of a brand new way to make a healthy connection day or night. Let’s get the 4-1-1 on 9-8-8!
