CSG Justice Center Staff conducted a virtual site visit with the Colorado Divison of Criminal Justice grantee team. The aim of the virtual site visit was to assist the grantee team in conceptualizing and planning for their crisis call response system. Since the Crisis Call Diversion efforts at the Houston Learning Site are in line with what the grantee team is looking to do in Colorado (have dispatch screen for mental health calls and have the ability to deploy a wide variety of responses based on the caller's needs) bringing the two groups together was very helpful.
