The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline; commend
HR 878 is a formal resolution commending the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for its national service in mental health crisis support. It recognizes the 988 three-digit number as a direct connection to suicide prevention and mental health resources (distinct from 911), highlighting its role in reducing emergency room visits and law enforcement burdens. The resolution specifically acknowledges Georgia's Georgia Crisis and Access Line (GCAL) as the local provider handling 988 calls 24/7. As a ceremonial resolution, it has no policy or funding changes - it solely expresses legislative support for the lifeline service.
