In Ottawa, Canada and the U.S., there have been many successful models for responding to mental health crises. We invite you to this speaker series to learn what is currently being done in response to mental health crisis situations.
Each event in the series will feature one approach to a mental health crisis response, with a presentation highlighting how and why it was developed, how it works and the lessons learned. A Q&A will follow the presentation.
To kick off the series, Rachel Bromberg of Toronto’s Reach Out Response Network will present.
Rachel Bromberg is the Co-Founder of the Reach Out Response Network, the Executive Director of the International Mobile Services Association, and a JD/MSW student at the University of Toronto. She also works with the education department at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health providing trauma-informed de-escalation training to inpatient and outpatient staff.
The Reach Out Response Network is an advocacy-focused non-profit dedicated to supporting the city of Toronto in designing and implementing a civilian-led mental health emergency service, which will be piloted in January 2022.
