mental health crisis
The Illinois State University Police Department (ISUPD) is launching a co-responder program this semester with hopes of helping individuals in crisis. In collaboration with The McLean County Center for Human Services (MCCHS), the program pairs a police officer with a crisis worker to respond to mental health calls.
McLean County has a mental health problem. Almost a decade ago, it acknowledged this fact with the Mental Health Action Plan, a roadmap for resolution.
