SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Funding Opportunity Title: Cooperative Agreement for the National
Suicide Prevention Lifeline and Disaster Distress Helpline, SM-21-005.
Assistance Listing Number: 93.243.
Authority: Section 520E-3 (42 U.S.C. 290bb-36c) of the Public
Health Service Act, as amended.
Justification: The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline Cooperative
Agreement (988 Lifeline) manages, enhances, and strengthens the 988
Lifeline network that routes individuals in the United States to a
network of certified crisis centers that links to local emergency,
mental health, and social services resources. The 988 Lifeline is a 24/
7 confidential suicide and crisis hotline providing phone, chat, and
text services for anyone in the United States experiencing a suicidal
crisis or in emotional distress. This supplemental funding will ensure
continuation of all active services, including continuing expanded
access for high-risk populations, improving access to services to
ensure equity of access, and supporting infrastructure to ensure
stability, safety, privacy, and connection of service.
Since 2005, Vibrant Emotional Health has provided oversight and
management of the Suicide Prevention Lifeline and its local call
centers, backup centers, Spanish network, and chat/text functions with
a network of over 215+ centers in all fifty states. Vibrant Emotional
Health has the infrastructure, experience, and national reach to work
with the backup centers, language services, and chat/text organizations
to address the increased contact volumes expected in 2023 and beyond.
With the transition to 988 accomplished, consistent services, such as
ensuring access to the local and national Lifeline backup centers, geo-
routing, language services, system evaluation and data reporting, and
access to specialized care for populations to be known at higher risk
for suicide, are required to fully realize the potential impact to 988
contact service. Through this supplemental funding, SAMHSA and Vibrant
can ensure capacity to address increased call, chat and text volume
following 988 implementation, further develop connection and support
for individuals at higher risk of suicide, and strengthen the
efficiency and customer experience of the network through unified
technology.
This is not a formal request for application. Assistance will only
be provided to the recipient, funded in FY 2021 under the Cooperative
Agreement for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and Disaster
Distress Helpline (SM-21-005) based on the receipt of a satisfactory
application and associated budget that is approved by a review group.

Supervisory Public Health Analyst.
