I think we need to come up with a different solution. The police are doing their job and policing the problem, but then what else? What else? So where do they go? They move from one spot where the police have kicked them out to another spot, and they're just playing, you know, musical chairs.
Imagine facing the harsh realities of mental health crises and addiction every day. That's the world former police officer Ashley knows all too well.

Whether you're someone who has faced these issues personally, know someone who has, or are simply interested in societal challenges, Ashley's insights are both eye-opening and thought-provoking. Tune in to hear a compelling narrative that calls for systemic change and greater compassion in addressing these critical issues.
