Don't you understand that this is Steph's website? It's not for real concerns or anybody else's. It's a place for her opinions and agendas. Maybe a disgruntled worker or two. Maybe their nosey spouses. For real though, it's just a place for her and some lady named Cyphert who posts anonymously. They have conversations with each other. Laughing at the misinformation is about the only entertainment value. yaaaawn.

Of course it's not.
Just like a hypocrite who carries on about LEO/Mental Illness as if they are an advocate, yet stays silent when an anonymous LEO rants on this board about meds, short busses, mental illness as if they are cannon fodder when a person he does not agree with posts anything he disagrees with.

Good try to discredit....but oh hell no.
I know the people you speak of in this post. You can try to discredit them but the wealth of information that has been gathered is beyond reproach. You are either a person who doesn't give two shi7$ about the City of North Port or you are getting a pay off? Which is it?

Relief Coming via 9 8 8 Hotline for Behavorial Health
Years ago, we talked about the use of Emergency Response teams being a better alternative to calling the police. Looks like relief may be coming your way. Here's Hoping this helps!

Subject: Coming Soon: 988 As a behavioral-health alternative to 911
Good morning Community Partners! We have received this article about a new hotline that is going to be available (link to original article at bottom):
A new three-digit national phone number will be available for Florida to use as a help line for behavioral health needs, starting in July 2022. Will Florida be ready?
The number, 988, will take the place of the national 10-digit suicide prevention hotline, 800-273-TALK. The 988 number could be used as an alternative to 911 to provide around-the-clock response for behavioral health emergencies.
Gayle Giese is president of the Florida Mental Health Advocacy Coalition, a NAMI-Florida board director and an appointee to the state’s 988 Planning Coalition. She lives in Broward County.
Imagine calling 988 and speaking with a “care traffic controller” who can send a mobile response team to your home, with workers trained to de-escalate a crisis and find you or your loved one help. This will be possible if communities coordinate the use of the 988 number with mobile response teams and community-based mental health services. A 2014 federal report shows that mobile crisis teams reduce psychiatric hospitalizations.
Diverting behavioral health emergency calls from 911 to a behavioral health call center with backup services would save money. Law enforcement would not need to respond to many behavioral health calls. Taxpayers would pay for fewer emergency room visits by uninsured patients. Fewer people with mental health issues would wind up homeless on the streets.
But money is needed to pay for call centers, response teams and centralized receiving facilities to screen patients and provide immediate care. As in Virginia, the money could come from a small fee added to phone bills, the same way 911 is funded.
A 28-member coalition formed by Florida’s Department of Children and Families’ Office for Suicide Prevention is preparing for Florida’s shift to 988. It will issue a report in October.
The Florida Mental Health Advocacy Coalition, a network that includes local chapters of two of the nation’s premier mental health advocacy groups — the National Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health America — will be asking policymakers to embrace 988 as a cost-efficient way to address behavioral health crises.
Our state legislators need to hear from citizens who understand that people having a behavioral health crisis need help, not handcuffs.
A call for help shouldn’t result in trauma or tragedy. Building a robust 988 crisis response system will move us closer to a respectful and effective response to everyone who experiences a mental health, substance use or suicidal crisis.
