I've lifted this up before & I'm going to keep boosting it. If you live in San Francisco & know someone having a mental health crisis or see someone on the street in crisis, there's an alternative to calling trigger-happy cops. Call 911 & specifically ask for the Street Crisis Response Team (contd)

otherwise the cops will be routed to the situation. There is a better alternative than risking a deadly interaction. Trained behavioral health clinicians, peer counselors & paramedics are the members of the teams and the service is citywide. Street Crisis Response Teams are saving lives in SF❤

It's been such a hopeful improvement. They've been taking a serious bite out of the numbers of calls that used to get routed to the cops. The success rate has been amazing. There really is a better way than involving overreacting cops. I hope more cities & states adopt teams like this.
