Want to join our amazing team of MH First volunteers?
APTP’s MH First (MH1) is Oakland’s first and only non 9-1-1 crisis response line for mental health, substance use and domestic violence and is available from 8 pm to 8 am, Fridays & Saturdays, covering the hours when traditional mental health hotlines are closed. Our MH First program is an assembly of doctors, nurses, systems-impacted people, and community members working together to build alternatives to police.
The only way to decrease police terror is to decrease police presence in our communities. A mental health crisis should not be a death sentence.
Join us this Saturday, August 27 for a full-day virtual training to build alternatives to police together!
