Mental Health First Billboards in Oakland
Donation protected
Oakland,
We need your help to get the word out about Mental Health First Oakland . This is a free non-police response to a mental health crisis. We want to raise awareness of this resource for our community so that folks know it’s available and we don’t need to call the police anymore.
Please consider donating to fund the billboards. It will cost $12,200 to pay for three billboards to be put up in Oakland starting on February 15th. We will utilize the money raised to pay for these billboards
We launched MH First Oakland last August and since then every weekend MH First volunteers have taken calls from people experiencing mental health problems from 8pm to 8am on Friday and Saturday.
MH First Oakland leads with the principle that police should not be involved when responding to a mental health crisis unless asked by mental health responders as a last resort. Crisis response services should support people through quality follow up and on-going care regardless of their ability to pay.
Remember, a mental health crisis should not be a death sentence.
Love, APTP (Anti Police-Terror Project)
