California 988 Awareness Campaign
DHCS is launching an awareness campaign for the California 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, in recognition of the inaugural 988 Day (celebrated on September 8) and National Suicide Prevention Month. This statewide initiative aims to raise awareness of the 988 Lifeline among diverse communities, including Black, Asian, Tribal, and Spanish-speaking populations, as well as youth and young adults—particularly boys and young men aged 18–24. The campaign will run through December 25, 2025. The campaign utilizes a wide range of media formats to maximize reach and engagement. These include traditional and premier poster billboards, programmatic digital billboards, and digital and poster placements in high-traffic areas, such as mall lobbies, food courts, and movie theater lobbies. The media strategy is designed to meet audiences where they are, with particular emphasis on reaching younger demographics through placements aligned with major film releases. This multi-channel approach ensures that the 988 message is visible, accessible, and resonant across California’s diverse population.

West Coast States tsim Kev Noj Qab Haus Huv Alliance los txhawb nqa kev ntseeg siab
The Governor’s Office announced that California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii are launching the West Coast Health Alliance to ensure vaccine decisions remain rooted in science. This new partnership will coordinate immunization guidance across the four states, providing residents with consistent, evidence-based recommendations. The Alliance will rely on trusted medical experts and national organizations to guide its work to protect community health. Each state will maintain its own approach while aligning shared principles of transparency, safety, and access. The Alliance also affirms Tribal sovereignty in vaccine-related decisions. This action follows disruptions to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s leadership and advisory structures, which have created uncertainty for providers, manufacturers, and families.
