State behavioral health system and mobile crisis response
Summary
Baker Acts are down 7% statewide, credited partly to mobile crisis teams staffed by clinicians instead of police. Clay Behavioral's team responds within an hour anywhere in the county and diverts 97% of calls away from involuntary commitment, and the sheriff's office has a partnership to preemptively help repeat-crisis residents.
