People experiencing a mental-health or substance-use crisis in Prince George will soon have access to a new community-led Peer Assisted Care Team to help them stabilize and find the support they need, the province has announced.
PACTs are mobile, community-led crisis teams that are trained to de-escalate mental-health crisis situations and provide trauma-informed, culturally safe support. PACTs serve people 13 and older experiencing mental-health or substance-use crises, such as thoughts of suicide or self-harm, well-being checks and distressing behaviours requiring de-escalation and support.The team will begin offering services on Sunday, July 28. During this initial phase, PACT services will be available to select organizations and groups to refine and improve processes.
