    Episode 20: Beyond Law Enforcement: Mental Health & Policing in Yarmouth

    When mental health crises and welfare calls arise in Yarmouth, emergency response requires more than standard law enforcement—it takes specialized care and immediate support. In this episode of the Your Yarmouth podcast, Yarmouth Police Department clinician Justine Podurgial breaks down the department's Co-Response Program and how it reshapes community outreach. Justine takes us inside her daily routine working alongside patrol officers, highlighting how on-scene clinical partnerships build trust, address complex human needs, and connect residents with vital resources. Tune in for an insightful look at how local police and mental health professionals are teaming up to serve Yarmouth residents. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available by calling or texting 988, or chatting at 988lifeline.org In cases of emergencies, always call 911.
