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, which will double the hours the service is available to residents. The program sends trained responders to mental health emergency calls, offering an alternative to police responses. The expansion means more residents in crisis will have access to immediate support during more of the day.
Why now: The city's decision to scale up a non-police crisis response reflects growing attention to mental health emergency services nationwide.
