AltaPointe sees rise in mental health calls.
) -Two standoffs earlier this week have helped highlight a mental health issue in the area. AltaPointe runs a 24/7 access to care center where people can call and be directed to different mental health resources and treatment options. April Douglas says they received just under 7,100 calls in October.Other calls go to the 988 suicide and crisis lifeline where counselors like Shak Steward talk callers through different levels of a mental health episode.
For some, that’s all it takes. Others need different types of treatment to get them through a crisis. Douglas says they’ve seen an increase in people reaching out for help. So much that it’s hard to meet the demand. AltaPointe says the number of people asking for help shows the stigma around mental health is changing, and people are understanding that it can affect anyone.
