Plainfield students partner with police department to discuss mental health initiatives
Lewis University students are helping in gathering feedback on Trinity Services' Co-Responder Assistance program. The co-responder program between New Lenox-based Trinity Services and local law enforcement works to reduce arrests and recidivism by providing people with mental health screenings and substance abuse screenings.
Lewis University students enrolled in a Community Engagement Learning Course, "Criminal Justice Research Methods", are collecting information through focus groups with law enforcement officers involved with the program throughout the region. The Justice, Law, and Public Safety Studies students are asking the law enforcement professionals about their thoughts on the program, such as its trainings, partnerships, hospitalizations and outcomes.
Most recently, students of Assistant Professor Dr. Hannah Klein met with the Palos Heights Police Department to discuss their partnership and involvement with Trinity Services' co-responder program, which assists law enforcement encountering someone in need of mental health services. In addition to meeting with law enforcement officers, they have also met with the Trinity staff involved in the efforts to get their perspectives.
