A new mental health resource is now available for all Oklahomans. Instead of calling 911 for a mental health crisis, Oklahomans can now call the 988 mental health hotline and speak to a trained behavioral health professional.
Teresa Sharp, a community consultant, said calling the 988 number can help avoid involving the police.
“Instead of calling 911, if you or someone is in a crisis, we want you to call 988,” Sharp said.
