A mobile crisis unit swings into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crisis counselor Cedric McNear gathers paperwork and looks up the address. His colleague Teralynn Turner reaches out to the grandmother for more information. Along with two other mental health professionals, they rush into a white van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their mission is to defuse a mental health crisis. They don\u2019t have sirens or flashing lights. Unlike police, they don\u2019t have handcuffs and guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/health\/mental-health-crisis-mobile-units-988-police-20220930.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the full article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philadelphia Inquirer Oct 4, 2022 Most calls to crisis lines are resolved on the phone.
