Police are obviously the worst at mental health calls- Denver started their emergency social workers response- a great step toward getting police away from people that need mental health assistance. I'm doing a presentation on this subject and am at the final section where I present any local, state, federal alternatives/reforms that have either been proposed, are being test piloted , or implemented. If any comrades (or others) know of anything that fits this bill, please drop a line/link/whatever below, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Maybe something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAHOOTS_(crisis_response), https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2021.00678, https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/07/mental-health-replace-police/ (found these on a quick google search so I don't know how great these are as sources)

    I don't have any suggestions, but I'm commenting to feed the algorithm.
