This is great news for individuals to get the most appropriate help needed, and keep those suffering a mental crisis out of the criminal justice system. @stltoday writes: ST. LOUIS If all goes according to plan, thousands of 911 calls beginning this month will not reach St. Louis police or fire personnel.... Calls involving people with mental health issues, or in a mental crisis, may instead be diverted to specially trained behavioral health professionals. Tiffany Lacy Clark, COO of the contractor involved in the program, Behavioral Health Response, said the broader goals of the program are to relieve police and EMS workers from responding to many mental health crises, to prevent people undergoing a crisis from going to jail or the hospital, and to help people obtain behavioral health services when needed. Lacy Clark called the program cutting edge and a tremendous positive collaboration among the city, police, mental health providers and others. St. Louis will be the first city in the U.S. to divert such calls outside the 911 system, officials said. We’re very excited about it, St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson said last month. The new initiative will have two parts: 911 diversion and a co-responder program. www.stltoday.com for more. #mentalhealth #911Diversion #coresponder #stl #stlouis #saintlouis #juliusgraves #behavioralhealth #collaboration
