‘We have visited all 100 counties, and 102 court houses, and we’ve learned that one size does not fit all in helping all counties create ACEs–informed courts.’

Ed. note: Dr. Harise Stein at Stanford University edits a website — abuseresearch.info — that focuses on the health effects of abuse, and includes research articles on PACEs science. Every month, she posts summaries of the abstracts and links to research articles that address only PACEs. Here are 4  of the 22 that she found for December (part 2). Due to the holidays and PACEs Connection temporary layoffs, we’re a little behind. You can read them all here.

Cops, Clinicians, or Both? Collaborative Approaches to Responding to Behavioral Health Emergencies.
Psychiatr Serv. 2021 Oct 20:appips202000721. PMID: 34666512
“How a community responds to behavioral health emergencies is both a public health issue and social justice issue…Such crises account for a quarter of police shootings and >2 million jail bookings per year…This policy article reviews best practices for law enforcement crisis responses, outlines the components of a comprehensive continuum-of-crisis care model that provides alternatives to law enforcement involvement and ED use, and offers strategies for collaboration and alignment between law enforcement and clinicians toward common goals. Finally, policy considerations regarding stakeholder engagement, financing, data management, legal statutes, and health equity are presented to assist communities interested in taking steps to build these needed solutions.”
