Since 2005, Vibrant Emotional Health has provided oversight and management of the Suicide Prevention Lifeline and its local call centers, backup centers, and chat/ text functions with a network of over 180 centers in all fifty states. This longstanding history has positioned Vibrant Emotional Health as the only identified organization with the required experience and national reach to work with the backup centers and chat/text organizations with expansion of their workforce and development of the infrastructure to improve unified data management across centers. Vibrant Emotional Health’s history, experience, and ongoing communications with these centers have been critical to ensure sufficient capacity was in place for the July 2022 transition to 988. Several external evaluations have reinforced the evidence of effectiveness of Lifeline services through oversight of the Lifeline by Vibrant Emotional Health. It would not be possible for any other organization to establish the relationships with crisis centers that Vibrant Emotional Health has built over the last 15 years and could run the risk of significant numbers of unanswered calls, chats, and texts. In addition, if these funds were awarded to another organization, oversight of the expanded backup and chat/text centers would be fragmented, and the network would run the risk of inefficiencies and adverse outcomes to individuals in crisis. Vibrant Emotional Health has long been recognized throughout the nation for its state-of-art technology-enabled services, community wellness programs, and PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 advocacy and education work and is uniquely qualified to carry-out the requirements of this funding opportunity.
