An initial program pilot phase of the San Gabriel Valley Homeless, Mental Health, and Crisis Response Program has launched Summer 2022 in the cities of Arcadia, La Verne, Monrovia, San Marino, and South Pasadena.

​

 

The program established alternative mobile crisis response teams to respond to and improve the outcomes of non-violent service calls and proactively engage youth in mental health. By dispatching clinicians and peer support navigators to non-violent service calls, the program will foster and build trust in communities that are calling out for change while freeing law enforcement to respond to the types of calls they are trained to handle.
