AI Summary
This bill requires the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) to provide grants to organizations that offer crisis intervention services and care coordination for individuals who contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline from anywhere in the state. The bill defines the national crisis hotline as the 988 telephone or text access number (or its future successor) that is maintained under a federal program. Currently, DHS already partners with Wisconsin Lifeline to provide statewide 988 crisis hotline services, and this legislation would formalize and support the funding mechanism for organizations providing critical mental health crisis support. By creating a new statute (46.533), the bill establishes a formal framework for supporting these essential crisis intervention services, which can be crucial for preventing suicide and providing immediate support to individuals experiencing mental health emergencies.
