The Division of Mental Health and Addiction is currently working to complete the Indiana State Suicide Prevention Plan and has been holding a series of workgroup listening sessions to inform that process. The Crisis Services Workgroup held a listening session on May 13,2025, which served as an opportunity for community members, stakeholders, and experts in the field to share their insights and priorities related to suicide prevention crisis services efforts.
The Crisis Services workgroup is focused on working toward a comprehensive, integrated crisis system across the state, including building the capacity to answer the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline calls and texts in Indiana, support for mobile crisis teams, and diversifying the availability of crisis stabilization facilities. Other capacity and systems work might include crisis workforce development, enhanced partnerships, and technology for improved coordination and communication.
