New Helena Mobile Crisis Response Team making immediate impact

Law enforcement officers are trained to respond to a multitude of complex situations, but a new team at St. Peter’s Health is partnering with officers and deputies to take some of the pressure off what are some of the most complex calls, those related to mental health.

“Law enforcement has done such a good job over the years and has done the very best but this isn’t really their job,” says Kari Koehler, Senior Nursing Director of Inpatient Nursing at St. Peter’s. “They are there and they will stay with our team to make sure everybody stays safe.”
