On January 19, Mayor John Tory announced details of the new Community Crisis Support Service pilot and the four community partners that will help implement and deliver the service starting this spring.

As detailed in a staff report going to Executive Committee on January 26, the new Community Crisis Support Service will provide a community-led solution to respond to mental health crisis calls and wellness checks. All four pilots approved by Council last year will be geographically-based, operating in areas of Toronto where apprehensions under the Mental Health Act and 911 calls for people in crisis are the highest.
