Mental Health Month: BPD’s Co-Response Program Pairs Master’s-Level CLinicians With Officers

In collaboration with Boston Medical Center's Boston Emergency Services Team (BEST), the BPD's Co-Response program pairs Master's-level clinicians with officers to respond to mental health crises.

The goal? To provide timely, community-based psychiatric support to those in need, reducing unnecessary arrests, and easing the strain on emergency services.

Together, we're making a difference!
