NC Boosts Crisis Care with $7M Grant | Wilmington News
Description
North Carolina’s mental health game just got a major upgrade with nearly $7 million in new federal grants aimed at transforming crisis care. The money, from SAMHSA, will expand the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, boost mobile crisis teams, and deliver targeted support for pregnant and postpartum women struggling with substance use. Officials hope this will streamline access to care, reduce involuntary commitments, ease law enforcement burdens, and keep people out of ERs—creating a faster, more effective, and compassionate system for those in need.
