Episode Details

Cambridge is launching a groundbreaking co-responder program this August, pairing police officers with mental health clinicians from the Affiliated Sante Group to better handle mental health crises during emergency calls. This first-of-its-kind effort on the Eastern Shore draws on Sante’s 20-year success in Baltimore, aiming to divert individuals from hospitals or the justice system and provide targeted, compassionate care. With mental health calls increasingly common, this collaboration represents a major step toward smarter, more effective crisis response — ensuring vulnerable residents get the help they need, right at the scene.
