Ever wonder what a Co-Responder is and what they do?
A Co-Responder is a trained mental health professional who works alongside law enforcement to respond to calls involving mental health crises. They provide on-the-spot support, help de-escalate situations, connect individuals with resources, and ensure people in crisis receive the care they need — not just a criminal charge.
Now’s your chance to meet them in person, learn about their work, and ask your questions directly!
Come hear real stories, gain insight into how mental health and public safety intersect and show support for the professionals making a difference in our community every day.
Bring your curiosity — and your questions — as we shine a light on the vital role Co-Responders play in building a healthier, safer community.
