102 [S2E05]: The Stride Center Is Stabilizing the Crisis in Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Manage episode 434229222 series 3550093
The Stride Center is a program started a few years ago in Bloomington that serves people who are experiencing mental health or substance abuse crises, both at their headquarters and where those people live, even if they're unhoused. Our guests today are Tia Magee, the Center's Program Manager, and Jennifer Scott, who leads its Mobile Crisis Response Team. The Stride Center serves as a crisis stabilization receiving center, providing resources to people experiencing mental health or substance abuse crisis, both at its headquarters and in the field. It's Indiana's version of Oregon's Cahoots program, which diverts police calls that are more effectively addressed by social services.
Also today: the Last Pitch ruminates, at the outset of another school year, on ways you can orient yourself to your community, no matter how long you've been there.
