My nephew is in Miami, staying with his father (my brother). My nephew had been trying to connect with a new psychiatrist, but the waitlist was 6 months. So, he became manic a few days ago. My brother didn’t want to engage the police at all. It was by sending your website and the Miami mobile crisis resources that we got [redacted] evaluated. He’s in the ER, but we hope he gets the care he needs. Thank you for all you’re doing. We are deeply grateful.
I always knew how valuable the services that The Right Response lists on their directory, but to see a mobile unit they list in action twice hit different. I was at a community coffee shop that is in an area with a large transient population nearby. Twice in a packed coffee shop there was a disturbance that many places would’ve called the police for, but the coffee shop reached out to the community organization to de-escalate the situation. I know my comfortability with what transpired would have felt different if policy responded and not someone within the community who I know cares not only about the individual in crisis but also the people who were in the Coffee Shop.
We have partnered with Georgetown University to help us continuously improve The Right Response. Please complete our brief survey to let us know your thoughts.
