Dear friends of NYAPRS,
We are looking into a request from a California colleague to learn about peer and/or family run or staffed mobile crisis teams from NY or around the country. Do you run a program like this in your agency, where peers or family members are used in a field based response? Are, or were you a staff member on a mobile crisis team like this? Do you have, or know about any research conducted on one of these teams?
If so, we would be so appreciative of you responding to me at brianag@nyaprs.org or by ‘liking’ us on facebook and writing on our page here to tell us more about it, with program and/or contact information. Great policy can be advocated for and advanced when we share information across places and systems and learn from one another’s experiences. Help contribute to this process by lending your voice!
