TIN: Mental health and Police Interactions.

In this daily show episode that I pitched and booked, I sourced and pre-interviewed 5 guests, created the rundown, cut tape, pre-produced a sound-rich companion feature, with photographs, and wrote intros/outros.
In this show, we hear a feature about one woman’s attempt to get help for her husband experiencing a mental health emergency. Then, we talk to one mother who called the police for help with her schizophrenic son, and that ended up being his last day. Finally, three experts join us to talk over non-police options for intervention in these moments and why peer support may just be the way of the future.
