North Carolina Invests in Mental Health Crisis Transportation
Briefly

"Relying on law enforcement to transport mental health patients criminalizes psychiatric crises, effectively labeling individuals in need of care as offenders while reinforcing the stigma around mental illness."
"The use of law enforcement restraints during transfers unduly traumatizes mental health patients. This process often feels more like incarceration than necessary medical care, exacerbating existing psychological conditions."
