Episode 4 -- The Police and 988 Lifeline: The 988 Podcast

- Mental Health
Too often, law enforcement officers are forced to serve as mental health first responders – even as evidence tells us that many crisis calls do not require law enforcement intervention. How does 988 address this concern? What does an alternative response system look like? Our hosts discuss those issues and the three pillars of the crisis continuum of care: 1) Someone to talk to, 2) someone to respond, and 3) somewhere to go.
