This has actually been in place for a while. It was super successful and is being expanded. Really hope its success is shared with other communities and they follow suit. It’s a fantastic idea.

I so agree! Not my original content, I wanted to share it so hopefully it can be talked about and spread.

Programs like these save lives! I have family that I am sure would not be here, had awarness not progressed where they were living, because of cops being called for mental health situations.
