Crisis Response Improvement Strategy (CRIS) Lived Experience Stories Project

The Lived Experience subcommittee of the Crisis Response Improvement Strategy (CRIS) committee has launched the CRIS Lived Experience Stories Project. This project is aimed to elevate stories and perspectives of people across Washington state who have accessed behavioral health crisis services for themselves or someone else.

These shared stories will be brought into the work of the CRIS Committee and integrate what has been learned into recommendations for improving Washington's behavioral health crisis system.

Help spread the word by sharing the Stories Project one-pager..
To submit your story, access our submission page. A $25 gift card will be offered in appreciation for the first 200 stories received.
