Emergencies can take a toll on mental health. World Health Organization reports that almost all people affected experience psychological distress. CUA911 responds with empathy and compassion, and with our new Behavioral Health Specialist, we're enhancing our support for vulnerable callers. We are here for you when you need us most, because the health, wellness, and safety of our community rely on the emergency response and service of 9-1-1. #WorldMentalHealthDay #CommunityCare
