San Diego's Mobile Crisis Teams at Risk

San Diego Countys Mobile Crisis Response Teams, crucial in handling mental health emergencies, especially in schools, face potential cuts due to state budget proposals. These teams, funded by the state, have responded to over six hundred calls in schools in the last eighteen months. If the state reduces funding, the county may have to cut other essential behavioral health programs to keep the mobile teams running. Mental health experts warn that without these specialized teams, law enforcement responding to mental health emergencies could lead to negative experiences for young people. The outcome of ongoing budget talks will determine the future of these vital services. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
