Introduction of Terros and Crisis Response Network: The Mobile Crisis System That Helps Get Flagstaff's Mentally Ill the Help They Need When They Need It.
DESIRED OUTCOME:
The desired outcome of the Flagstaff Police Department’s new partnership with Flagstaff’s Mobile Crisis Unit is to improve our service as a community to Flagstaff’s mentally ill.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Health Choice Integrated Care has been working to expand and enrich the crisis services available to the community in the greater Flagstaff area. In order to do this, they have contracted with the Crisis Response Network Inc. for region-wide, 24-hour crisis phone services, and with Terros for 24-hour mobile crisis response, available to any community members in crisis in the greater Flagstaff area. Both agencies have been working closely with other providers and stakeholders in order to best integrate into the community and most appropriately meet community needs.
