-Develop an understanding of their struggle in the mental health system and the role of the police and the risk factors involved.

-Meet a panel of consumers of the mental health services in the area in an effort to promote communication and understanding by having interaction when the individual is doing well and not in crisis. Discussion is encouraged on what works well for them when they are having issues with their medications and what doesn’t work well.

This community contact helps us achieve our goal of familiarizing law enforcement with the community resources available to them.
