Take The Survey: Reentry in the Wake of COVID-19
Community-based reentry service providers have faced countless challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many had to respond to increasing demand, decreases in funding, staff layoffs, and the need to halt services to comply with social distance requirements. One year after we first surveyed the reentry field about their immediate responses to the pandemic, CSG Justice Center is polling the field again.
Their ten-minute survey seeks to understand what the reentry landscape looks like more than a year into the pandemic and how organizations have adjusted to new demands. Results will be aggregated and shared in July.
988 Coalition: Implementation of 988 in Minnesota
Beginning in July 2022, a new three-digit phone number – 988 – will be used to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, replacing the current number.
988 will be a direct line to trained crisis counselors across the nation and will help Americans receive the support they need on a 24/7 basis. Carolina De Los Rios, who oversees the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Center at Greater Twin Cities United Way said, “They are only one phone call away to get help- the help that they need.”
Minnesota currently has four in-state call centers that receive calls from Minnesotans who call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Greater Twin Cities United Way, FirstCall for Help, FirstLink, and Carver County. In preparation for 988, these centers are training employees, looking for sustainable funding sources, monitoring phone lines, ensuring quality control, and making sure they will be meeting all standards.
Melanie Warm, the mental health crisis program supervisor for Carver County National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Center said “[988] will transform how mental health and suicide prevention is addressed. It will provide access to individuals who need help. It will be very effective with 911 dispatch integration. The implementation of 988 will destigmatize mental health and get the right help at the right time for individuals.” One thing that both Melanie and Carolina believe will be crucial for 988’s effectiveness is adequate funding for National Suicide Prevention Lifeline call centers as well as for mobile crisis teams to assure the most comprehensive response system is established.
MDH Suicide Prevention Unit was awarded a grant through Vibrant Emotional Health, the administrator of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The grant is being used to plan the implementation of 988 in Minnesota. MDH has formed a coalition in collaboration with the Department of Human Services and community partners across the state to create a strategic plan to ensure coordination, capacity, funding, and communications when 988 launches. Learn more about 988.
Minnesotans needing support should continue to call 1-800-273-TALK(8255) until 988 is activated.
New Incentives for Vaccination and Reminder to Join the Weekly Provider Webinar
‘Your Shot to Summer’ COVID-19 Vaccine Reward Program
Last week, Governor Walz announced the ‘Your Shot to Summer’, an incentive program to encourage Minnesotans to get vaccinated with the goal of reaching 70% of Minnesotans age 16 years and older vaccinated by July 1. The first 100,000 people who get their first shot between May 27 and June 30 and sign up for an incentive will be eligible to pick a reward from among a set of options, including various admissions passes and a $25 Visa gift card. The full list of rewards can be found here.
This incentive program is available to all Minnesotans including people experiencing homelessness. To access a reward, you can either fill out the online form or call the vaccine hotline at 833.431.2053. You will need to provide an address where you can currently receive mail; this does not have to be a permanent mailing address. Be sure to provide the same information (name, etc.) that you provided when you got vaccinated to help ensure they can find your information in the vaccination database. Our team is also seeking additional incentive opportunities specifically focused on people experiencing homelessness and welcome your partnership in that. Please reach out if you are aware of or planning to implement additional incentives, and we will share additional information about those opportunities if they become available.

A Workplace Survey on Hiring and Working with People with Criminal Records
It is estimated that nearly 1 in 3 Americans (more than 70 million people) have a criminal record. To address this important issue, SHRM, the SHRM Foundation, and the Charles Koch Institute partnered again to commission additional research on this topic. Using data collected from HR professionals and nationally representative data from C-suite members, managers, and individual contributors, the research presented here provides insights behind the knowledge and perspectives employers and employees have about individuals with criminal records and highlights the shifts observed since 2018.
