I feel like the pandemic has opened up the door for people to have a conversation about mental health in a way that we haven't seen in a really long time. And I think that's an opportunity for us to reimagine how we can create access in historically marginalized communities.
Ever wondered how crisis care can be more equitable? Vic Armstrong sits down with David Covington, CEO and President of RI International, to discuss just that. In this episode, they dive into the current state of crisis services and how they’ve evolved over time. From the role of law enforcement to the importance of hospitals, they leave no stone unturned.
Covington brings to light the critical need for intersectionality in mental health care, emphasizing that access to services is vital for historically marginalized communities. They also touch on the necessity of standardizing help lines and expanding mental health resources to better reflect community demographics. The conversation wraps up on a hopeful note, stressing the importance of creating a feedback loop for equity and accountability.
This episode offers a thorough look at how we can reimagine crisis care to be more inclusive and fair for everyone.
