Description

The lawsuit details cases in the county where law enforcement was sent to mental health crises instead of mental-health providers, resulting in trauma, arrests or criminal charges for people in crisis. The lawsuit alleges that responses to mental health emergencies fail to meet the needs of people in crisis, increasing the risk of harm and leading to adverse outcomes for people with mental health disabilities.
