11 - We Were Calling For Help (Part 2)

Written by:
In part two of our season finale, we explore some alternatives to police intervention for a mental health crisis. Crisis Response Teams, Crisis Intervention Teams, and the new 988 all offer assistance and mental health services that minimize or eliminate police interaction with people in crisis, leading to much safer outcomes. We’ll also examine the stigma of seeking mental health treatment - particularly in communities of color - by hearing Kevin Fischer’s lived experience navigating his son’s mental health crises, as well as his own.
Kevin Fischer is the Executive Director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Michigan and the President of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) International. He is a mental health and suicide prevention advocate dedicated to eliminating the stigma associated with mental illness.
