The goal of this program is to enable our community members to access long-term solutions for mental health issues and get out of the revolving door of emergency room visits for chronic mental health issues. If you or someone you know needs non-emergent assistance with a mental health issue, please reach out to Assistant Chief Tim McGannon today to get started.
