Bipartisan support for behavioral health funding compounded with increased interest in creating alternatives to law enforcement responses to behavioral emergencies is catalyzing a once-in-a-lifetime expansion in behavioral health crisis services. This session will provide an overview of the National Council for Mental Wellbeing’s Roadmap to the Ideal Crisis System and SAMHSA’s vision for crisis care in which everyone has “someone to call, someone to respond, and a safe place to go.” The session will highlight emerging trends and best practices for crisis lines, mobile crisis, facility-based crisis care, and collaboration with law enforcement. Recent policy developments and opportunities for advocacy.
