Resource Spotlight
988 Lifeline Transition - Partner Toolkit and Jobs Web Page
The U.S. is getting close to the July 16 transition to 988 - the easy-to-remember number to reach the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. To help our partners communicate about 988, SAMHSA has added downloadable print files for wallet cards, magnets, and posters to its 988 Partner Toolkit<https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/988/partner-toolkit> with items in English and Spanish. SAMHSA is also working to make the print materials available for ordering from the SAMHSA store and will be adding social media shareables by mid-July about the basics of 988. One of the most urgent needs involves staffing at crisis centers. Anyone interested in serving in these critical positions is encouraged to visit the 988 jobs web page<https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/988/jobs>.

CDC recommends COVID-19 vaccines for everyone 6 months and older<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/children-teens.html> and boosters for everyone 5 years and older, if eligible. Use CDC's COVID-19 booster tool<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html#when-you-can-get-booster> to learn if and when your child or teen can get boosters to stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines.
