In Ann Arbor, a new approach is being taken to address mental health crises. Trained clinicians will respond to certain calls without police presence. This team will handle situations where individuals require assistance but do not pose a risk.

A second program pairs clinicians with police officers to respond to more complex situations. These teams will work together to provide a different type of response to mental health crises. Further details about these initiatives are available from the City Council.

The city's efforts aim to provide a more suitable response to mental health issues, and more information can be found through local news sources.
