Alternatives to Policing Mental Health Crisis: A Community Response Model for Erie County!
Please join the Community Responders for Erie County Coalition at a general body meeting for organizations and community members interested in helping to inform and create a community responder program in Erie County. Community responders are first responders who respond to low-risk 911 calls related to mental health, drug use, and other health needs *INDEPENDENT* of the police. Come on out, grab some food, and lend your voice as we review what a pilot program could look like in Erie County! Dinner will be provided, please rsvp here.
