We released a report which was both a condemnation of the city’s mental health crisis response and a guide for restructuring and reforming those systems. We proposed a health-centered approach, and in the wake of several incidents when law enforcement shot and killed people in mental crisis, a focus on a healthcare response rather than a criminal one. Unfortunately, in the three years since our last review, the city and state have taken steps to further criminalize the mental health crises and its impacts – most recently, by expanding the criteria for involuntary hospitalization.
