Everyone knows someone in their life who has been affected by mental health injury or addiction.
Maybe it’s a close relative like a sister, cousin or parent. It might be a co-worker who suffers from anxiety. A veteran who returned from war with post-traumatic stress. Or, the unsheltered person on the street having an episodic breakdown.
For those of us who see these folks suffering, it is difficult. It has not always been clear what the best way is to help them. But now we have a solution. Mobile Crisis Response Teams are a better way to meet their needs.
