New reporting from #RobWipond for #MadInAmerica.

"New national data shows, in 1 year, a stunning 400,000 people got police/EMS visits after calling the "confidential" 988 hotline --a 7.8% intervention rate on callers that's nearly four times higher than #Vibrant and #SAMHSA have ever publicly admitted."
