This is what is meant by defund the police. Take some funds and use them so the police aren’t as required for mental health emergencies

That was stupid period it clearly said it was funded by a grant. I worked as a crisis clinician in VT. It's not always down to just money. All designated agencies rely on money from ADAP, Dept of Mental Health, and grants. Even with the money there, filling spots is hard because the work is fucking hard. Everyone talks about deescalation, as though it's the end all be all. it's a tool just like anything else, it may work, it may not work.
