Since 2015, in New York City alone, police have killed twenty people who were experiencing a mental health crisis, the majority of them people of color. This interactive workshop will highlight alternative mental health crisis response systems across the country. Panelists will identify strategies for implementing peer-led, culturally competent, non-police crisis response systems in New York, and collectively envision a continuum of care that prioritizes crisis prevention.
