About the Nevada 988 Crisis Response Coalition
The Coalition is a forum where people and organizations from across Nevada can work together to build, operate, and sustain a statewide crisis care continuum that embodies best practices in crisis care. We support – not duplicate – the efforts happening in communities across Nevada. We also coordinate with other statewide entities and initiatives involved in behavioral health crisis care to ensure synergy without duplication of efforts.

Promote collective action to strengthen 988 and the crisis care system by developing strategies to enhance services and identify ways to work together to execute those strategies.
