I think I've heard that, too @Blue_Bird. About 988, I mean. I sure hope so!
@Nammu I'm lucky because the county I live in has much better than average resources for mental health services. The county I came from was a sorry situation when it came to mental health assistance. Bad.
Anyway, in my county it's slow, but sure- NAMI is pulling together a program that will have either 2 trained volunteers go with 2 cops, or 2 vols go alone (together) to places where there is someone having a mental health crisis.
In a certain way the program reminds me of the work I did with teens back in the '90's. Street outreach. I loved, loved that job. So, when that program gets rolling here I am very interested in volunteering. I already have NAMI's basic training, so I would need to do only the specific training for the new program.
