NAMI San Antonio has a 'warn line' where families and community members can call for help finding resources before a loved one has a mental health crisis.
– Melissa Perez, 46, was shot and killed by San Antonio Police officers as she was presumed to be experiencing a mental episode last week.
“The first words were, ‘You’re going to get shot.’ It would have been more appropriate to say, ‘We’re here to help. We’re concerned about you. We’re going to get you the care that you need,’” Packard said, referring to the police officers who killed Perez. “What if this was your family member? How would you feel? What would you do? And I think as a city, we need a recommitment to investing in the resources to provide better public safety for people who are experiencing a mental health ,” Beach added.
