About this listen

Did you know that more than half of all the people killed in police shootings each year have a mental illness? In this episode, I tell some stories - as usual - and then I dive into the facts. At the end, I'll give you some ideas of what to do instead of calling the police when your loved one is experiencing a mental health crisis.

This episode discusses some difficult subjects like suicide and gun violence. It could be triggering for some people. Please don’t listen if you think it will trigger you. Links to resources are below.
