查塔姆-肯特警方和查塔姆-肯特卫生联盟启动了一个为期两年的试点方案,即流动成瘾应对小组,以便更好地支持面临心理健康和成瘾挑战的个人。 Chatham-Kent police and the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance have launched a two-year pilot program, the Mobile Addictions Response Team (MART), to better support individuals facing mental health and addiction challenges. 部分资金来自240,000加元的安大略省政府赠款,该小组将一名便衣官员与来自快速获取成瘾医学诊所的吸毒治疗师配对,以便对涉及吸毒和心理健康危机的电话作出回应。 Funded in part by a $240,000 Ontario government grant, the team pairs a plainclothes officer with an addiction therapist from the Rapid Access Addictions Medicine Clinic to respond to calls involving substance use and mental health crises. 该倡议的重点是及时采取富有同情心的干预措施,减少护理方面的障碍,提供后续支助,使接受长期治疗的人建立联系。 The initiative focuses on timely, compassionate interventions, reducing barriers to care, and providing follow-up support to connect people with long-term treatment. 该方案将警务和临床专门知识结合起来,目的是加强社区伙伴关系,解决吸毒成瘾的根本原因,改善整个区域个人和家庭的成果。 By combining policing and clinical expertise, the program aims to strengthen community partnerships, address root causes of addiction, and improve outcomes for individuals and families across the region.
