Common complaints
- Challenges navigating the system for crisis intervention
- Perceived disparity in response to mental health crises compared to medical emergencies
- Frustration with lack of coordinated responsibility for field crisis calls
- Concerns regarding the treatment of serious mental illness (SMI) within the community
"You soon learn that nobody wants to take on the responsibility of mitigating a mental illness crisis... Everyday families are discriminated against as they try to navigate the system and get help as their loved one deteriorates into their illness! It is simply unacceptable."
