Note
"The Building Capacity: Mental Health and Police Project was initiated by CMHA-BC Division in February 2005 in an effort to find ways to improve interactions between police and persons with mental illness. The project, funded by the Provincial Health Services Authority and the Vancouver Foundation, built on CMHA’s Study in Blue and Grey. The intent of the project was to try to develop solutions at a local level, by bringing together all the parties that play a part in a mental health crisis to discuss the services available, the problems that exist, and how those problems can be solved."--Page 1.
