Join us to hear about this unique partnership.— Jill Wiedemann-West, CEO of People Incorporated Mental Health Services
“This collaborative work meets clients where they are at and strives to support those in crisis while working to create healthier communities,” said Jill Wiedemann-West, CEO of People Incorporated.
People Incorporated – the Twin Cities’ largest community-based provider of mental health services began this collaboration with law enforcement in March of 2018 by embedding a social worker in the mental health unit of the St. Paul Police Department. In 2019, a chemical dependency program and a homeless/unsheltered outreach program were added and included a licensed alcohol and drug counselor from People Incorporated. The program is now called, the Community Outreach And Stabilization Unit (C.O.A.S.T.). The Blaine and Coon Rapids police departments also have an embedded social worker from People Incorporated. All of the police departments are experiencing outcomes that significantly reduce mental health crisis-related arrests and repeat calls for service.
