Mental Health Strategy

We are here to help when life feels overwhelming. At HRPS, our approach to mental health focuses on prevention, compassionate crisis response, and connecting people with the right community supports.

Our officers work alongside mental health professionals to respond to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis, helping to provide the right care at the right time. We collaborate with healthcare providers and community organizations to strengthen pathways to support, reduce unnecessary involvement in the justice system, and help individuals and families access appropriate services.
