From the Church Office: Portland Street Response
For those concerned about the welfare of those living rough on the streets or in their vehicles, Portland Street Response offers compassionate mobile crisis response for people experiencing homelessness and/or mental health / behavioral health crisis. These services are confidential, voluntary, and free of charge. They are staffed with paramedics, licensed mental health crisis workers, case managers, and peer support specialists. They are unarmed, trauma-informed first responders for non-life-threatening (but crisis-related) scenarios such as behavioral health crises and welfare check calls. Please, if you see someone in crisis, call 911 and ask for the Portland Street Response Team. This is another way we can compassionately help our neighbors in need. Thank you.
