#TestimonialTuesday From a participant who worked with our Crisis Stabilization Team: "Jail is an extremely traumatizing experience for anyone but especially for those with serious mental health issues. People USA plays a vital role in vetting people who are not a threat to the community but in need of mental health services and I am thankful they were on my team." Our Crisis Stabilization Team is a forensic mobile team that works directly with law enforcement in the field and courts seeking alternatives to incarceration, to provide immediate crisis response and/or transitional care services to people at risk of entering the criminal justice system due to under-addressed mental health, addiction, or social determinant of health issues. #CrisisStabilizationTeam #MobileTeam #CrisisResponse #AllternativestoIncarceration #CriminalJusticeSystem #PeopleUSA #PeopleUSANow #Nonprofit #MentalHealth #Advocacy #Peers #WellnessServices #Community #Support #Recovery #Sobriety #Prevention #Hope #RoadToMentalWellness #NewYork

This can make it hard to keep appointments—especially for children who need consistent care.
