The bill specifies that the grant funding for farm telephone helplines and websites may also be used for crisis lines.
Further, FRSAN grant recipients may establish referral relationships with providers, including Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics, health centers, rural health clinics, and critical access hospitals.
