Show Notes
The Bernalillo County Sheriffs Behavioral Health Unit revolutionizes mental health crisis management by deploying a multidisciplinary team of therapists, caseworkers, paramedics, and detectives to respond to nine-one-one calls. This approach, which includes on-the-spot antipsychotic drug administration, has proven effective in calming situations and diverting cases from regular police. The units work, which often involves providing resources and follow-up care, has saved lives and eased the burden on first responders.
