Community-Led Response to Mental Health Crisis: A Pilot

The Center for Behavioral Health and Wellness was established in 2022 in response to the growing need for evidence-based, effective, and meaningful behavioral health resources. The Center aims to promote and coordinate behavioral health and wellness programming across Boston. We envision a community where all can achieve their ideal behavioral health and wellness, through just, trauma-informed, and intersectional approaches.

As part of ongoing collaboration by the Boston Public Health Commission and the City of Boston, to enhance mental health crisis response services within our community, we are excited to invite organizations to respond to this Request for Information (RFI) to inform our strategy, with future potential to participate in this groundbreaking Community-Led Mental Health Crisis Response pilot project. Our goal is to gather information to support the implementation of a non-police, non-carceral, community-led mental health crisis response that fosters community engagement and support, while minimizing response from law enforcement, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and clinical providers who are mandated reporters, in mental health crisis situations.
