SAFE Team Launched
The City of San Rafael has partnered with Petaluma People Services Center to start a mobile mental health crisis response team. This team is called SAFE (Specialized Assistance for Everyone).
Services provided by SAFE include responding to people who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, in need of treatment for mental illness, or who need shelter by providing counseling and transportation to the appropriately staffed location. The team will also address minor medical complaints that do not require emergency room care. The SAFE Team will also be supported by a SAFE Team Navigator, who will manage referrals to the various social and mental health programs in Marin County. The SAFE Team will operate twelve hours per day (8 a.m. – 8 p.m.), seven days a week, 365 days per year.
The team works proactively to address low level issues and provides preventative outreach to help ensure individuals don't end up needing a higher level of care. This program is intended to benefit all of public safety by keeping police officers, firefighters, and paramedics available for appropriate emergencies.
Businesses, Property Owners and Residents may access SAFE services as follows:
- Call 415-458-SAFE (7233) - an emergency dispatcher will answer and determine if your situation requires the SAFE Team, first responders such as police, fire, or paramedics, or a combination of both.
- To contact PPSC or to find out more about the program, SAFE@petalumapeople.org
