## Resource

Blaine County is launching its Crisis Co-Response Team July 27th — a groundbreaking pilot pairing sheriffs with mental health clinicians to handle behavioral health emergencies with compassion and expertise. This 40-hour-a-week initiative, funded by TogetherWe and the St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation, aims to de-escalate crises and connect individuals with care — not handcuffs. Sheriff Morgan Ballis calls it a vital step toward smarter, kinder responses. Public kickoff event: July 27 at 10 AM in Hailey. For true emergencies, still call 9-1-1. For mental health or suicide crises, text or call 9-8-8. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
