YCCHS helps launch new 988 suicide hotline

On Thursday, Aug. 18, Yavapai County Community Health Services shared information about the new 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and additional community health information at “Coffee with the County” in the Cottonwood Public Library.

From 9 a.m. to noon, YCCHS educators Carla Hover and Katherine Sirimarco awaited visitors in the library’s conference room, where pots of freshly-brewed coffee and light snacks were placed among a variety of community health information material.

“We present the material to people as they come through,” Hover said. “We don’t get groups of people so much as we get two or three at a time.”
