Preparing for the transition to 988 is a top priority for SAMHSA. Not only will we continue working with our federal and national stakeholders to achieve a smooth transition, but these grants demonstrate that states and territories are also critical partners in this effort.

In the driveway of a white house, a woman with long brown hair wearing a tan jacket and a red shirt and holding a rolled up orange yoga mat smiles at her daughter, who is wearing her brown hair in two pigtails and sitting in the trunk of a blue minivan holding a pink soccer ball and wearing a blue soccer uniform. Underneath them, a red rectangle reads, "On your way to practice... See if she has ever been offered alcohol."
