Description

Public Campaign focusing on the topic of the Mental Health Crisis that impacts all communities and the first responders who serve them The Mental Health Crisis Public Awareness Campaign is a co-designed, co-creation of the Public Engagement in Governance Looking, Listening and Learning Laboratory (PEGLLLLab) in the Frank Batten School of Leadership & Public Policy at the University of Virginia, in conjunction with the producers of the Emmy Award Winning HBO Documentary, Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops. Please join us for this event as we launch a public awareness campaign and focusing on the topic of the Mental Health Crisis that impacts all communities and the first responders who serve them. Awareness of the mental health crisis and its complexity are central and imperative at the local, regional/statewide and national levels. As a result, the goal of this campaign is: to create, leverage and catalyze a sense of shared responsibility across the pilot site communities to better understand and address the mental health crisis within a framework of community well-being. The shared responsibility approach was selected as a way to align public expectations with the policies, processes, practices, services, and programs of first responders and public serving governing institutions This will be a hybrid event
