@BHEconNetwork Individuals experiencing a crisis or living with mental illness need to be met with empathy. Communities need to invest in the “no wrong door” approach to crisis stabilization, which diverts from jails and ER’s, gets the individual services quicker and LEO’s back to the streets.
@BHEconNetwork Agree completely, this is why LEO’s have become the default of the BH crisis response system. This system needs to completely be reversed. #BHJusticeChat
@laura3530@FLSheriffs I’m from Missouri and we currently have 96 of 114 counties having officers CIT trained, with 35 local CIT Councils focusing on localized resources and best practices. Www. https://t.co/nRBeCbNcM1 #BHJusticeChat
@JeanJ1119@NationalCouncil I’m a LEO and a CIT Officer. I understand the concern. In order to successfully navigate both complex systems, we have to train fans work together for a better continuity of care for those in crisis #BHJusticeChat
@NationalCouncil A Community Mental Health Liasion that works directly with jails/prisons to assist with re-entry, while getting that individual engaged in community treatment.
