This episode features updates on the 6-month pilot for the new non-police led Toronto Community Crisis Service, which sends mental health specialists to mental health or addiction crisis calls instead of police/paramedics. The evidence shows that most 9-1-1 calls did not result in the need for police and that the crisis team was able to manage 78% of calls without the support of other emergency services. The team can be accessed by calling 9-1-1 or 2-1-1 (2-1-1 is the most direct way to avoid police response). The Toronto Community Crisis Service is a multi-disciplinary team of mental health specialists that take a harm reductive, trauma-informed approach to responding to and managing crisis calls across the city. On the majority of calls the team is able to assess and manage the crisis without the need to transport the person to hospital. Each person that the team responds to will receive the option for 6-months of intensive case management to help prevent future crises and address the root causes.
See what areas of the city the service is currently covering as it starts to expand across Toronto: https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/public-safety-alerts/community-safety-programs/toronto-community-crisis-service/toronto-community-crisis-service-areas/#location=&lat=&lng= More information on the Toronto Community Crisis Service can be found here: https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/public-safety-alerts/community-safety-programs/toronto-community-crisis-service/ I also highlight updates from the frontlines of the drug poisoning epidemic. The city of Toronto is still seeing a large number of overdose-related fatalities due to the unregulated street supply of fentanyl and crystal methamphetamine. I talk about what we are finding in drug samples collected by Toronto Public Health and the risks associated: https://drugchecking.cdpe.org/reports/ Finally, I share some thoughts on the state of cannabis research and some tips on how to navigate a lot of the bad reasearch that exists out there. I finish off with some ideas on how to increase effectiveness and reduce harms around your cannabis use.
