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❤

The teams are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Thanks for posting this! Several cities in #California have mental health crisis response teams that accompany police on mental health crisis calls —it’s a great idea to ask directly, just in case ❤️‍🩹

I mentioned that in the top of the thread. Callers MUST specify they want the team to be sent otherwise the cops will be automatically routed to the situation. These teams are saving lives. I'm so glad to hear other cities/states are embracing them. It's such a monumental shift. It's about damn time

Yes! I live in a town where most calls to police are mental health calls. So happy to have this here.

Glad you're amplifying this, they should come up with an easy # for ppl to memorize cuz everytime I've called 311 they basically told me it's routed through the Fire Dept. / So best to call 311 and let them contact local Crisis team instead of 911 which isn't local #
