๐Toronto is actively recruiting approximately 100 frontline workers for its community crisis service addressing mental health emergencies. This initiative marks the city's fourth emergency response service, distinct from the police, paramedics, and fire services. Mayor Olivia Chow expressed pride in the service, highlighting its potential to offer an alternative to police intervention in mental health crises. The expansion of this non-police, community-based response is planned by year-end. With a client-centered and trauma-informed approach, the service received nearly 7,000 calls last year, 78% of which were redirected from 911.โ . ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐ & ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ก๐๐ฌ๐! ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ก ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ซ +๐ (๐๐๐) ๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฃ.๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ค๐ค๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ง@๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐.๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐.๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐ฏ๐, ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง, ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ @mukkadan.joseph . . #TorontoCrisisResponse #MentalHealthSupport #CommunityWellness #NonPoliceResponse #HiringNow #FrontlineWorkers #EmergencyServices #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
