Call Me Curious

About this episode

There’s a new number in town! One that’s so needed, and so ready to be there for us when we need it most. It’s 9-8-8. The brand new nationwide hotline number for those in emergency mental health crisis. Just three simple numbers are the lifeline you won’t forget – and that won’t forget you. On this episode of Call Me Curious, Nikki and Malone talk to Chief Officer of the new 988 Lifeline, Dr. John Draper, and mental health activist Dior Vargas about the hardships of mental health crisis, the power of crisis support, and the creation of a brand new way to make a healthy connection day or night. Let’s get the 4-1-1 on 9-8-8!
