OUTREACH WORKS BETTER TOGETHER
Help neighbors see the 988 message.
Participating businesses and institutions can place approved 988 posters where people will notice them: entrances, community boards, waiting areas, restrooms, break rooms, and other authorized spaces. No business is automatically enrolled; site participation is voluntary and requires permission.
How to take part
STEP 1
Get in touch
Tell the local group about your type of business, community and possible display areas.
STEP 2
Pick the right poster
Choose from approved materials suited to your setting, whether agriculture, healthcare, transportation, youth, seniors, or general community.
STEP 3
Put it up thoughtfully
Agree on a location, receive approval, install the poster, and record when it should be checked or replaced.
