Dover Mental Health Challenges and Response: Community Feedback

25 Alumni Drive,Dover NH 03820

19 November, 2022

Description

Like many communities, Dover has experienced a dramatic rise in demand for mental health crisis services in recent years. Facilitated by the Center for Ethics in Society at Saint Anselm College, a subcommittee of the Dover Mental Health Alliance Task Force was asked to develop a set of recommendations that reflect trends, obstacles, opportunities, and best practices to follow as they relate to ongoing City response to mental health related calls for service and needs. In this third public program on Dover’s mental health crisis services, the subcommittee will share its final recommendations with the community for feedback and comment. These recommendations are the result of nine months of work in collecting research and data, consulting local experts, and hosting public discussions about mental health crisis intervention in Dover. Please join us at the Dover High School Library on Tuesday, September 20 for a presentation and discussion of the recommendations. There will be ample time for your feedback and insights. Those who attend in person are invited to arrive at 8:45am to grab coffee and begin informally reviewing the recommendations before the live event begins. The live webinar will begin promptly at 9am.
