FY 2023 Cooperative Agreements for States and Territories to Improve Local 988 Capacity - The State of New Hampshire (NH) has two (2) accredited Lifeline centers. The primary center is operated by Headrest, Inc., a nonprofit located in Lebanon, NH. This call center operates 24/7 to answer 988 crisis and suicide prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) calls.

NH is committed to collaboratively increasing in-state answer rates and building capacity for continued increases in contact volume. NH established a centralized crisis hub, New Hampshire Rapid Response Access Point (NHRRAP), which is working closely with the primary Lifeline call center to answer in-state crisis calls as a secondary Lifeline in NH. NHRRAP is also able to dispatch mobile crisis teams through NH's ten regional community mental health centers.

NH also utilizes 211 call center through Granite United Way to answer substance use disorder and social determinant of health calls. NH's Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) will lead this grant. Through existing in-kind staff time, DHHS will be responsible for all grant reporting requirements.

The grant funding will be focused on the Headrest Lifeline center to build needed capacity. The work will be a collaboration with Headrest, NHRRAP, Institute for Health Policy and Practice, and other pertinent stakeholders participating in the NH 988 Coalition.
