萨县开通紧急电话,专门处理心理健康问题!
Sacramento County Considers Alternate Emergency Line For Immediate Mental Health Help
萨克拉门托县考虑使用备用紧急热线来提供即时的心理健康帮助
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A new version of the emergency phone line could be coming to Sacramento County strictly for handling mental health emergencies.
萨克拉门托县将开通一条新的紧急电话专线,严格用于处理精神卫生紧急情况。
Supervisor Patrick Kennedy is proposing adding a new number. Dispatchers would assign teams of civilian mental health professionals to respond to the calls and there would be no police presence.
主管帕特里克·肯尼迪提议增加一个新电话服务。调度员将指派民间心理健康专业人员小组对电话作出回应,届时将不会有警察在场。
“So the whole idea and the principle behind this is to get people the most appropriate and timely care that they need if they’re in a mental health crisis,” Kennedy said. “A large percentage of those calls will never even make it into the criminal justice system will never make it into 911.”
肯尼迪说:“所以,这背后的整个理念和原则是,如果人们处于精神健康危机中,他们需要得到最适当和及时的照顾。”“这些电话中有很大一部分甚至不会登记到刑事司法系统,也不会登记到911。”
Sacramento doctor Corrine McIntosh Sako is a licensed clinical psychologist who supports the plan for a new mental health emergency line.
萨克拉门托医生Corrine McIntosh Sako是一名持证临床心理学家,他支持建立一条新的精神健康紧急热线的计划。
“Law enforcement is not set up to be a social service provider,” Sako said.
Sako说:“执法机构并不是社会服务提供者。”
The funding is set to start at $1.6 million a year and provide services Monday through Friday during the day. Sako wants the funding to be $15 million a year and the line to be available around the clock.
这笔资金将从每年160万美元开始,在周一至周五的白天提供服务。Sako希望每年能获得1500万美元的资金,并能24小时提供服务。
A new kind of call for help. A new number to dial, that could make a life or death difference.
一种新的求救信号。一个可以拨打的新号码,它可以决定你的生死。
Supervisors will vote Wednesday on the proposal. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s office supports the plan.
监管机构将于周三投票表决该提议。萨克拉门托县警长办公室支持该计划。
The new number has not been decided yet.
新的号码还没有定下来。
