Small and rural jurisdictions across the country often face distinct challenges that make it difficult to implement the types of crisis response programs that larger and urban areas have. This ask-the-expert session focused on the unique experiences of people working on crisis response in rural areas. The CSG Justice Center was joined by representatives from Yavapai County, Arizona. These experts gave a brief overview of the work they are doing in Arizona to respond to people experiencing a behavioral health crisis. This was followed by time for attendees to ask questions and engage in discussion. Registration was required to attend this event. Speakers for this event included: Deirdra Assey, Senior Policy Analyst, Behavioral Health, CSG Justice Center and Beya Thayer, Executive Director, Behavioral Health Services & the Yavapai Justice & Mental Health Coalition.
