On Wednesday, May 29, the City of Greensboro will send out members of its Behavioral Health Response Team anywhere in the city for a private session with those who request it. The team members are specially trained to handle people with mental illness and those in behavioral crisis.
They do it “with care and expertise, ensuring such persons receive appropriate responses based on their needs.”
For those who want a better understanding of the city’s Behavioral Health Response Team, the May 29 event is an easy way to get it, with a private consultation with a team member coming to meet you wherever you want.
You can schedule for a team member to come to your house, your workplace – or anywhere at all as long as it’s within the city limits of Greensboro.
The responder will fill you in on the team’s purpose, goals, and procedures.
If you would like to meet with someone on May 29, you should text 336-430-4121 by 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 23, and schedule a visit.
The Behavioral Health Response Team consists of Greensboro Police Department officers, licensed clinicians, and crisis counselors. Whenever it’s appropriate and available, the group attempts to divert people away from the criminal justice system toward treatment.
The team is part of the city’s Office of Community Safety. You can learn more about the team and its members at www.greensboro-nc.gov/BHRT.
This outreach is part of the city’s “Paint the Town Green” effort and it’s being held in observation of the fact that May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
City residents are being asked to wear green on May 29 in recognition of the month.
Guilford County government is also making some special mental health outreach efforts during May.
I’m excited and thrilled beyond human description.
Good information. Are you allowed to sign up anyone other than yourself? If so, I will give up my spot for anyone currently on city council.
I’d be curious to know if anyone invites them into their homes or place of business. . .
And what benefit they got. . . .
Congratulations to the sheeple of Greensboro! You now have yet another group of folks controlling your behavior under threat of taking your freedoms.
Karl Marx would be proud! Marxism is the gift that just keeps on giving. Remember what Reagan said were the 9 most dangerous words in the English language. Here’s just one more example. We have finally reached the point where if any trouble should find my doorstep, I’m not calling 911, I’m bringing SIG Sauer in to participate in the conversation.
So the city believes it’s their function to fund a small army of amateur psychiatrists..?

And doesn’t that garbled Pidgin English display the intellect, proficiency and competence of these people?
They might – might – be able to flip burgers. To suggest they can advise you on how to run your life is laughable.

The “Office of Community Safety”… The “Behavioral Health Response Team”….
It all sounds very Orwellian, doesn’t it?
Are there really enough members of the ‘Behavioral Health Response Team’ to fill this void in our lives? Hopefully many more than the stellar group in that photo!! I imagine ANYONE would gladly welcome these missionaries of progressive mantra into their homes to alieve them of their troubles.
Government serves all and by all means RULES all.
If I recall correctly, white men comprise 34% of our population. And I would think that the number of white women would be a bit more.
In this photo, I see three white men, and three white women. There are nine people of color. So where is the diversity and inclusion here?
Go to most any government building, you will see who is running it. Where is the diversity and inclusion there?
There are many people who can do the govt jobs, so it appears that color is a criteria for hiring. (Just like Best Buy in recent years – search this online).
This is what the LEFT is doing.
I the voters don’t turn this mess around, it will surely be the End of our Republic. Everyone for themselves. Get outta Dodge.
Ur a racists
“Ur a racists’ (sic).

Garbamzo : the gift that keeps on giving.
Greensboro is 43% black. Thanks for playing 36% white
Racist
Oh, this keeps getting bettter.
Breathtakingly stupid and obviously African-American Garbamzo is now calling BigCity a racist! He’s black.
These are the geniuses that want to tell you how you should live your life.
I believe most citizens know who and what ” runs” Greensboro. Look at the mess a once decent town has turned into.
THEY COULD GET THA PROFESSIONAL N TAKE MORE OUT IF UR TAXES. GENIUS
You already said that Einstein, but it got deleted because you called me a moron.
At least I can spell my own name.
Which one are you in the photo?
Looks like there are 3 or 4 police officers, and rest are . . . .social workers? If so, why isn’t the County Social Services Dept providing funding for this unecessary program? Reminds me of the old adage of. . . .”hello, we’re from the government and we’re here to help you” without anyone calling them for help.
Socialism is what it’s called. Think about it. . .thugs and family quarrels now have their own social service program, yet real crime of robberies, vandalism, and shootings keep going up. That’s the areas they need more policing . . .that is, the men and women with guns, not sport shirts.
