Our minds can often feel overwhelmed, especially when negative thoughts take the driver’s seat. But remember, you don’t need to control every thought that comes your way!

💡 What matters is recognizing when your thoughts are starting to control you and taking the power back. It's about creating space to pause, reflect and choose how to respond. You are not defined by your thoughts—you're in control of how you navigate them. 🌱

We are so pleased to share that 911 callers can now be transferred directly to 988.

For those distressed callers who are not a threat to themselves or others, our dispatchers can now transfer the caller directly to 988 for specialized mental and emotional support.

Previously, Public Safety Telecommunicators would either dispatch an ambulance or officer or could encourage the caller to hang up and call 988.

“It takes a lot of courage for them to reach out. We don’t want to risk losing the caller on the line,” says Deputy Director of State Radio Miranda Jangula. “And an ambulance or an officer is not always needed in these situations, sometimes people just want to talk. This is a great resource for us to get the right help to people at the right time.”

State Radio Public Safety Telecommunicators will request permission to transfer the caller to 988 and can brief the 988 staff member before placing the transfer.
