The presentation covers multiple models being used throughout the United States, with a deeper dive into the model endorsed by SAMSHA’s National Behavioral Health Crisis Care Guidelines. Also covered is the importance of a street-level response to crisis care that diverts away from uniformed law enforcement officers as the caregiver of last resort. The intended audience for this presentation includes behavioral health administrators, emergency response workers, and front-line behavioral health workers, including social workers, psychologists, and peer specialists.
