About the course

How does a community re-imagine compassion to avoid crisis whenever possible? Inside Health 34 – UC Davis Fire’s mobile approach to non-emergent support and service navigation. Three years ago, the UC Davis Fire Department began exploring the depth and breadth of the nation’s mental health crisis, including its implications for our own community. In the face of an increasingly complicated challenge, we posed the following question: “How can we help people step off of the path to crisis?” We wondered if there were measures we could take to make meaningful progress toward a solution. We decided to create a model for community-based, evidence-informed systems of care that meet people where they are, to enhance the overall wellbeing of the community through improved equity and access to services before people reach crisis.
