Mental Health Response Advisory Committee (MHRAC) Meeting

Cleveland (Directions)

Held on Zoom

The Mental Health Response Advisory Committee (MHRAC) is a part of the Cleveland Department of Public Health.

The Settlement Agreement between the City of Cleveland and the Department of Justice requires that a Mental Health Response Advisory Committee (MHRAC) be developed by the City and the Cleveland Division of Police (CDP).

This committee has the following charge:

• Fostering relationships and support between the police, community and mental health providers.
• Identifying problems and developing solutions to improve crisis outcomes.
• Providing guidance to improving, expanding and sustaining the CDP Crisis Intervention Program.
• Conducting a yearly analysis of incidents to determine if the CDP has enough specialized CIT officers, if they are deployed effectively and responding appropriately and recommending changes to policies and procedures regarding training.

Note for Documenters: This meeting is not livestreamed or in person. MHRAC meets only on Zoom. There may be a recording available after the meeting, but we are uncertain when and if that will be posted. Please join the Zoom meeting at the meeting time in order to cover it. It may be helpful for your coverage to record audio from the meeting with your phone or a recording device, but it is not a requirement of the assignment. Documenters may need to share their name and that they’re a Cleveland Documenter to be admitted on Zoom. The meeting may run closer to one hour.
