In San Antonio, the Public Safety Committee met to discuss the progress of its mental health outreach efforts through the S-A CORE initiative. The goal of this program is to provide better support for individuals facing mental health crises. Since its inception, S-A CORE has made significant strides, including a decrease in arrests related to mental health incidents.
During the meeting, a detailed presentation was given that highlighted the areas in the city with the highest number of mental health crisis calls. This information is crucial for S-A CORE teams to ensure they are providing adequate coverage in these areas. Currently, three teams have been established to provide comprehensive coverage across the city.
Starting next month, S-A CORE will be expanding its coverage to be available 24/7. This expansion will help ensure that individuals in crisis receive timely and effective support whenever they need it. By improving access to mental health services and increasing the availability of resources, S-A CORE is working towards creating a safer and more supportive community for all residents in San Antonio.
