ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, we are joined by Eric Epley, the Executive Director & CEO of the Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council (STRAC) and Kellie Burnam, STRAC's Southwest Texas Crisis Collaborative Division Director. They tell us about the Law Enforcement Navigation program, which navigates patients who are placed into emergency detention by law enforcement for their acute psychiatric needs and are medically stable to the appropriate psychiatric facility versus area emergency departments.
