Alternatives to police response to 911 calls for behavioral health crises have spread across the country since 2020, but what do we know about their effects?
This workshop, led by CPH's Jen Hefner, will present recent research evaluating community member experiences when calling 911 during mental and behavioral health crises. Attendees will learn about variations in police responses, barriers to calling 911, and community support for alternative response models. The session will include an overview of key findings and provide space for community members to provide feedback and insight into the study’s results. This feedback will be invaluable for refining future approaches to crisis intervention and informing policy recommendations.
