People who are living with a mental illness and their families are heroes and deserve the same opportunities for success, health and happiness.
Couldn't agree more! Congratulations @DrDevikaB!

A policing program in New Jersey, created after the killing of George Floyd in 2020, was meant to better address the mental health needs of people in crisis and reduce the risk of police encounters ending in violence. Now it is expanding in the state. nyti.ms/40Cs9kp
