Since 2018, we have been working with Oxford County OPP and Woodstock Police Service on the Mental Health Engagement Response Team (MHEART).
MHEART pairs a police officer with a Crisis and Outreach Clinician from CMHA Oxford to respond to police calls when mental health or addictions could be a factor.
MHEART helps divert individuals from hospital emergency rooms and the criminal justice system by effectively de-escalating crisis situations and directly connecting people to the appropriate community supports and services.
