Chicago to double hours of mental health crisis response program
Original: Chicago expanding mental health crisis response program to double available hours
Chicago is expanding its mental health crisis response program, a city initiative that sends trained responders instead of police to certain emergency calls, and will double the hours it operates. The move extends coverage so more residents in crisis can access specialized help around more of the day, part of ongoing efforts to reform how the city handles mental health emergencies.
Why now: The city has announced an expansion of a crisis response program at a time when alternatives to police responses for mental health calls are drawing wide public attention.
