Puerto Rico 988 Cooperative Agreement - Project Summary: Puerto Rico's Mental Health and Anti-Addiction Services Administration (MHAASA) will ensure statewide coverage for 9-8-8 calls, chats and texts through the PAS Line (First Psychosocial Help Line), under the Integrated Crisis Intervention Program (ICIP) of the MHAASA, the government agency in charge for the mental health and substance abuse (MH/US) disorder in PR, and for state crisis counseling services in situations of natural disaster, and now COVID-19. Through the FY 2022 Cooperative Agreements for States and Territories to Build Local 988 Capacity, the PAS Line will achieve capacity building for current and projected 9-8-8 volume for calls, texts, chats and follow-up services. Currently, there are no centers in PR members of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) 9-8-8. Operating since 2001, the Pas Line provides crisis hotline services, 24/7, for the population of the 78 municipalities of PR and will be the site of the 9-8-8 implementation. Forty-six (46) case managers work as telephone counselors of the crisis hotline, working under three (3) supervisors. The services are available for teens and/or college aged youth (13-24), older adults (55+), the deaf and hard of hearing, domestics violence survivors, and the LGBTTQ community, among others. It is a member of the Suicide Prevention Commission which is the key stakeholder coalition of 12 government agencies, the federation of Majors, four (4) private sector representatives, and two (2) community organizations' representatives that provide services to persons at risk of suicide, plus one (1) family member of a suicide case. This coalition will be invited to serve as the 9-8-8 implementation/key stakeholders' coalition of the Puerto Rico 988 Cooperative Agreement. While there is no Lifeline center at this time, the PAS Line of the MHAASA will sustain a contact center capacity to maintain a 90% in-state answer rate 9-8-8 contacts. Due to consistent federal funding sources, the PAS Hotline has the capacity to meet all Lifeline project requirements. A total of 22,008 calls were received from people with suicidal behavior in 2021, when calls related to COVID-19 and the natural disasters impacting Puerto Rico were more prevalent. The PAS Line has a current answer rate of 97%. The MHAASA is willing to make a commitment to make a good faith effort to work collaboratively with Lifeline member call centers to continue to exceed an 90% answer rate by the end of the Project. A project director will oversee the implementation of the project and an evaluator will measure process aspects and outcomes, with resulting data, including GPRA, to be submitted in SAMHSA reports and use to improve procedures and services over the 2-year grant period. A total of $250,000 is requested for the grant period, to cover the project required and allowed activities implementation and data collection and evaluation.
