GCS Vice President quoted on crisis hotline expansion

Sarah Corcoran, vice president of government relations for Guide Consulting Services, said recent funding from the March COVID-19 relief law was a good sign that [the crisis hotline] is a priority. That law offered an enhanced 85 percent federal match for three years for states to cover mobile crisis intervention services and provided $15 million in grants to states for crisis services and $20 million for youth suicide prevention.

“We’re just looking to build on that and to make sure that the focus doesn’t come off of this,” she said, via Roll Call.
