NEWS RELEASE
SOUTH SIMCOE POLICE SERVICE
*****************
The Innisfil Community Foundation is thrilled to grant $20,000 to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) to support the South Simcoe Police Service’s Crisis Outreach and Support Team (COAST).
COAST is made up of a COAST police officer and a CMHA crisis worker, who respond to crisis calls in the community. Working together to de-escalate situations and provide critical mental health support, this program is essential to help persons in crisis navigate support systems in our community.
The grant from the Innisfil Community Foundation will put CMHA crisis staff on the road with a COAST officer for an additional day every week, ensuring people in crisis receive assistance when they need it the most.
The cheque presentation took place on Thursday, April 28 at the South Simcoe Police Service North Division in Innisfil.
