MILFORD, Del. — Milford Police are collaborating with the National Alliance on Mental Illness Delaware to provide a free educational event focused on what to do during a mental health crisis. The event is set for Sunday, June 2, and aims to help the public understand the difference between when to call 911 and when to call 988 for mental health emergencies.
Taking place in the community room at the Milford Police Department at 401 NE Front Street, the event will provide guidance on navigating mental health crises and the appropriate response from local authorities. No prior registration is required for the event, and it is open to anyone interested in learning more. The session will cover critical topics, including the differences between dialing 911 and 988, who to request when making a call in different situations, and information about the department’s co-responder unit.
Additionally, the Behavioral Health Unit will offer a free Narcan training session in partnership with Partners in Public Safety Solutions, aimed at equipping attendees with tools for handling opioid overdoses. The event is an essential step toward ensuring the community knows how to access appropriate help and resources during mental health emergencies. Milford Police are committed to improving public understanding and response when it comes to mental health crises.
