That's right. And it's not always possible in every area, depending on the size of the police department. But ideally, there's time to say we need a CIT team to respond to this. And that's ideal where we have these trained teams that respond and are able to use their skills in that response.

I would say overall, we really need to provide more avenues for families to be able to give information and explain what is happening and provide background and history to the situation as well.

Again, understanding that behavior is driven by a serious mental illness or psychosis or anosognosia is important information in knowing how to help the person from there and with the legal system, how to manage the court system with that person as well.

We understand that mental health is something we need to address and try to intervene early, focusing on mental wellness. I think that has been significant. For the most part, I think we've addressed stigma in a significant way, although for people with very serious mental illness, in some ways, it may be rougher for them where there's less tolerance and patience around that.
