Greensboro Expands Mental Health Response

Greensboro’s Clinician Alternative Response team is expanding its hours to tackle mental health crises with compassion, not cops—now running 24/7 on weekdays, up from just a few hours during its pilot. These counselors handle lower-risk calls, freeing up patrol officers for emergencies while ensuring people get the right help fast. With 45 calls already managed during testing, the program’s growing reach proves it’s working—and signals a smarter, more humane way to respond to mental health emergencies.
