NOFO - 2487 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (NSPL) Call Center

Notice for Funding Opportunity (NOFO)

Summary Information

Agency-specific Content for the Notice of Funding Opportunity

1. Program Description

   Scope of Services

   The Federal Communications Commission has assigned 988 as the new nationwide, 3-digit number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (the Lifeline). The Lifeline is a network of crisis centers serving the entire country. The Lifeline's call routing is based on crisis center call capacity and availability. Beginning July 16, 2022, all phone service providers must ensure all 988 calls are routed to the Lifeline. To support the roll out of 988 and to increase in-state/local capacity to answer calls to the Lifeline, the Illinois Department of Human Services-Division of Mental Health (DHS/DMH) is seeking entities interested in becoming new Lifeline call centers. In the first quarter of 2020, over 16,000 calls were initiated from Illinois callers, with only 4,921 (31%) answered in state. By adding call centers in uncovered and underserved areas, DMH is seeking to increase the statewide capacity to answer calls in-state to a target of 85% in the first year of funding working towards 100% capacity in following years.
    
   Entities seeking funding are required to ensure sufficient levels of staffing are maintained and new staff recruitment, hiring and training is completed within the first nine months of funding, and the call center location is created meeting the minimum requirements of the Lifeline.

   
   Current National Suicide Prevention Lifeline call centers located in Illinois with already determined coverage areas may utilize this funding opportunity to ensure that sufficient levels of staffing are maintained, and new staff recruitment, hiring and training is completed within the first nine months of funding, and the call center location is expanded if necessary to cover the needs of the new staff, all changes to the call center must ensure the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline standards are maintained

   2. Performance Requirements

      The Provider will:

      1. Identify a lead call center staff member that operates as the call center director/ supervisor and serves as the primary liaison with the Division of Mental Health.
      2. Engage in a contractual agreement with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and become a local call center with a designated primary coverage area and a back-up coverage area by county and zip code.
      3. Develop and maintain a secure call center location where staff can engage in phone conversations with Lifeline callers ensuring the protection of clients' rights consistent with the Illinois Mental Health and Developmental Disability Code and any additional expectations of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The call center's phone system must meet these minimum requirements :
         1. The ability to return a true busy signal (also known as a network or carrier busy signal) once the estimated wait time reaches a predetermined length,
         2. Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) Compatibility,
         3. Note: Centers utilizing Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) technology, which places callers into an internal queue at the call center if counselors are not immediately available, will be required to implement what Lifeline calls Active Answer procedures. With Active Answer, call counselors at the local center will need to press "1" in order to accept a Lifeline call. This process provides some assurance that Lifeline callers are not automatically being placed in long queues at local centers and will allow the Lifeline to re-route calls to backup centers if the center using an ACD system is unable to answer within a specified timeframe. DTMF compatibility is needed in order to implement Active Answer and pass Lifeline automated Quality Assurance (QA) test calls. This means that the center will need to have a phone system that is capable of sending DTMF tones or keypad tones to be technologically compatible with the Active Answer and automated test call features. Centers that do not have DTMF tones will not be able to implement Active Answer or pass the QA test calls and will need to work with their phone providers to modify their current telephony systems or will not be eligible to participate.
      4. Develop and maintain policies and procedures to ensure the successful operations of the local call center, including policies and procedures for providing referrals and access to resources for local callers as well as calls outside of the center's primary coverage area. Referrals and resources should be consistent with the cultural and linguistic needs of callers including veteran appropriate resources.
      5. Include active or new staff members that at a minimum meet the MHP definition and are representative of the local population, ensuring the cultural and linguistic responsiveness of the crisis services provided.
      6. Develop and maintain a staffing plan that includes 24/7 staffing sufficient to respond to the call volume anticipated by the Lifeline, and a dedicated individual to answer only Lifeline calls for coverage areas; must meet a minimum of 85% answer rate during the first 9 months of the program working towards an answer rate of 100%.
      7. Develop and maintain training for call center staff, including the principles and components of the Lifeline's Suicide Risk Assessment Standards and Policy for Assisting Callers at Imminent Risk.
      8. Participate in any required National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network evaluation activities to promote quality assurance for network operations (e.g., call logs).
      9. Develop and implement a continuous quality improvement process that includes, at a minimum, ongoing call monitoring of Lifeline calls to ensure quality. 5 % of all calls received by crisis counselors must be silently monitored monthly and all crisis counselors given feedback accordingly.
      10. Develop and implement a supervisory process that ensures all call responders have access to a supervisor at all times.
      11. Develop and implement a process for callers to provide feedback to the call center and to report concerns and grievances.
      12. Develop and implement a process for callers to provide feedback to the call center and to report concerns and grievances.
      13. Provide monthly data to DMH including, but not limited to:
          1. Call volume and answer rates
          2. Average speed to answer calls
          3. Caller disposition categories
