Our Proposal
Our model utilizes teams that would consist of one peer trained as a crisis counselor and one emergency medical technician (EMT). They would operate citywide, 24/7.
Our vision utilizes 988 – rather than the police-run 911 – as the primary contact method for dispatching responders. There would be interoperability between all three digit numbers; 911, 988, and 311 and the crisis response teams dispatched via 988 would be able to request police assistance when needed.
The coordinated crisis response system would include prevention, alternatives to hospitals, and robust follow-up from local service providers to avoid future crises.
