The purpose of the PACT (Pitkin Area Co-Responder Team) program is to support law enforcement on calls for service involving mental health and/or substance use and, when possible, divert individuals with behavioral health disorders or symptoms from involvement in the criminal justice system, engaging them in treatment and/or social services instead. The clinician/therapist responds to active calls with local law enforcement (LE), maintains scene safety as directed by LE, and de-escalates and evaluates clients in the field as appropriate. The clinician/therapist follows up with clients in person, often accompanied by LE, and on the phone. Processes and determines next steps for clients referred to PACT by LE and other community agencies.
