Route Fifty: When officials in Franklin County, Pennsylvania began sending a mental health expert into the field with law-enforcement agencies to help people in distress, their goal was to refer 80 patients to local services within two years.
“I am now 13.5 months in the field. I have 233 separate individual referrals,” Kay Martin, community behavioral health liaison and the program’s mental health co-responder, told Route Fifty. “We’ve really learned to think outside the box. We’re people-centered, we’re not service-driven.”
