Mobile crisis teams come to you

If you call 9-8-8 and need on-scene help, the state supports mobile crisis teams that can come to you. Each team includes at least one behavioral health professional, plus an EMS provider, a law enforcement officer, or a trained paraprofessional such as a community health worker or peer supporter. The Division also supports crisis stabilization at hospitals that hold a state crisis‑stabilization endorsement. Teams are created and expanded as funding allows.

State 9-8-8 call center and rules

Calling 9-8-8 in Nevada connects you to a state support center that answers and coordinates help. The Division sets rules on who can respond, how responders share information, and who counts as a qualified behavioral health worker. It works with the national Lifeline and the Veterans Crisis Line so public messages match. The Division takes part in federal data collection. The law also defines roles like case managers, community health workers, peer supporters, and EMS providers.

Limited liability for 9-8-8 providers

Phone companies and their contractors are generally not liable for damages from running 9-8-8 service, including outages. People can still sue if there is willful misconduct or gross negligence. This shield aims to keep providers engaged in supporting the hotline.
