Navigating Police Response During a Mental Health Crisis

When someone has a mental health crisis, sometimes there is no choice but to call 911 and receive a police response. What are the circumstances that require this? What can individuals and their families expect when something like this happens? What can the family/loved ones who are present do to help in this situation? Get the answers to these questions, as well as more resources, from this presentation given by representatives from the New Castle County and New Castle City Police Departments, and NAMI Delaware! Light refreshments will be provided.

Registration is not required, but ensures a seat is reserved for you. Have questions? Please reach out to Wesley Ingram at [email protected].
