🧠💚 Mental health crises require the right response at the right time.

There’s a common misconception that calling for the Clinician-Led Community Response (CLCR) means law enforcement will automatically respond. That’s a myth.

CLCR is a non-law-enforcement response team composed of licensed clinicians and peer specialists trained in de-escalation and crisis intervention. For situations involving an immediate threat to life or the presence of weapons, IMPD’s Mobile Crisis Assistance Team (MCAT) may be dispatched instead.

When you call 911, trained dispatchers assess the situation and determine the most appropriate response. Community members may also request either team based on their needs.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, help is available. Learn more at https://t.co/SEPyEbfW12.

You may hear or see 'GVRS' in relation to reducing crime in Indy - but what is it exactly?

GVRS, or the Gun Violence Reduction Strategy, is the City of Indianapolis' three-pronged approach to reducing gun violence, launched in 2021 by @IndyMayorJoe. This strategy includes an intervention piece such as @IndyPSFdn, the Elevation grant program and IMPD’s focused enforcement.

Find out more about the GVRS at https://t.co/eKecz5cKXq.

☀️ Summer Safety Countdown Tip☀️

See something? Hear something? Say something.

Speaking up can make a difference. If something doesn’t seem right, trust your instincts and tell a trusted adult, teacher, parent, coach, or law enforcement officer. You could be the reason someone else stays safe. 💙

🧠💚 What an incredible end to Mental Health Awareness Month – standing room only for our Youth Mental Health Insight Forum!

A panel of six high schoolers from around Marion County shared their thoughts on how social media culture, peers and friendships, family dynamics, and more shape mental health and the stigmas that surround it. We are grateful for the opportunity to host these students, their friends, and their families for the evening. 🙌✨

May is coming to an end, but the work continues. OPHS’ Division of Behavioral Health remains committed to community mental wellness year-round. 💙

Indianapolis is gearing up for a safe, active, and empowering summer for youth!

As schools are out of session and kids get ready to enjoy their summer break, the City of Indianapolis and its partners want parents and guardians to know about the resources available to support the young people in their lives this summer.

From weekly summer programs and camps to late-night safe spaces and summer jobs, there are many opportunities for young people to stay engaged, supported, and connected this summer.

☀️ Summer Safety Countdown ☀️

👀 Watch the crowd.
If things start to feel tense, chaotic, or just off — leave. Trust your instincts and remove yourself from situations that don’t feel safe. Your safety always comes first. 💛
