SANTA FE, N.M.- The City of Santa Fe is changing the way it responds to people suffering from a mental health or substance abuse crisis.
During a news conference Monday, Mayor Alan Webber announced the city s new Alternative Response Unit.
It will consist of a police officer, a paramedic and a social worker trained in crisis intervention.
“It s an awareness that there are people in our community who have behavioral health needs, mental health needs, social issues, that really don t rise to the level of being a matter of law enforcement. They re a matter of public health,” said Webber.
