Jurisdictions that have implemented similar mobile crisis response programs have seen success on many fronts. Please fast-track this invaluable program - we desperately need it here in Mendocino County
This is a critical response for mental health crises in the County. This is an effective and evidence-based model that has been adopted elsewhere. It is especially important for rural areas with few resources for mental health interventions by advocates and professionals. It can save lives with professionals and volunteers trained in de-escalation and linking to services and supports. Please fund this important program.
