Help Hits the Streets with a Crisis Response Team


The Street Crisis Response Team program is an alternative to policing made up of first-responder teams trained in trauma-informed crisis management. These teams can be dispatched for non-violent mental or behavioral health emergencies in public spaces and focus on compassion and trust-building in the community to de-escalate crises. They can also transport people to hospitals, shelters, or places to receive other mental health interventions.
