Community Medical Centers will launch a mobile crisis intervention response program in downtown Stockton and said it eventually hopes to have four vans providing services throughout the city around the clock.
STOCKTON -- The city of Stockton and Community Medical Centers unveiled the city's first-ever mobile crisis intervention response pilot program Thursday, aiming to assist people beginning this month who are grappling with mental health or social service needs.
"Specifically, this is going to help us from a public health standpoint better respond to calls for service that have to do with some sort of behavioral health challenge, in addition to certain types of calls that are domestic related," said Mayor Kevin Lincoln. Apu said they are trying to develop a process where they can identify which calls are most appropriate for the response team.
"Eventually there will be other calls that will be directly funneled to the CMC team through a specific number and through a process where our team will be on-call to receive those calls," Apu said.
