Welcome to Clinical Connections! Connecting you to clinical topics.

This month, guest host and Senior Director of Crisis Innovation and Community Support, Courtney Burrow, leads an important conversation on the intersection of law enforcement and mental health in our community.

For this episode, we’re joined by Lieutenant Kelli Russell, Commander of the Toledo Police Community Services Section. Established in 2014, this team responds to some of the city’s most complex calls, many of which include a mental health component. Together, they discuss the specialized training officers receive, the resources available to individuals and families, and how police and crisis professionals collaborate to provide the right support at the right time.

Whether you’re curious about what happens behind the scenes during a police response or want to learn more about local support systems, this episode will give you insight into the tools, collaboration, and care that make a difference every day.
