[quote=Anonymous]Here's the number. Put it in your phone. If you see someone lying unconscious on the sidewalk or bus shelter or bushes, call it. If someone is ranting and raving Call it. And call 311 if the situation is really dire, like someone saying death threats so the non emergency response can decide how to deal with it best. They can deploy a wellness check (like below) and/or officers if they see fit. I actually called in 311 once when there was someone shouting wildly on the corner by....Wilson. He was shouting wild and threatening things and reaching out to touch students and grab their backpacks and stop them as they walked by. Yeah, nope. See something, say something. STOP LOOKING THE OTHER WAY.

"The Access HelpLine at 1(888)7WE-HELP or 1-888-793-4357 is the easiest way to get connected to services provided by the Department of Behavioral Health and its certified behavioral health care providers. This 24-hour, seven-day-a-week telephone line is staffed by behavioral health professionals who can refer a caller to immediate help or ongoing care. [b]The Access Helpline can activate mobile crisis teams to respond to adults and children who are experiencing a psychiatric or emotional crisis [/b]and are unable or unwilling to travel to receive behavioral health services."
