Right now, 988 mental health crisis calls are routed based on your area code— not location. That’s a big problem when someone needs an in-person response. That’s why @kathrynbarger and I met with the FCC about plans in the works to fix this issue and have calls “georouted.”

@SupJaniceHahn @kathrynbarger While you’re at it look into the lack of privacy regarding caller data, the dispatching of police against the callers wishes (“georouting will make this worse) and the absurd wait times! @FCC @samhsagov #988 #mentalhealth
@SupJaniceHahn @kathrynbarger samhsa.gov/find-help/988/… It's been that way since it's inception. Built it wrong And can't fix it! People having a mental episode getting the run around 👹💯🦆
