We need a 4th emergency service for people in crisis to just evac them from bad situations, almost like the witness protection.

I don’t want to get too political in shower thoughts, but this would solve a lot of the hot button issues if more people just had safer and supportive environments to escape to and volunteers / paid professionals to help them on the other end.

The city I live in has a “crisis services” unit for mental health crises, drug abuse related crises, welfare checks, psychiatric evaluation for hospitalization, and so on.

Is there a 3 digit number you can call?

Biggest problem is that you’d need the services everywhere for a 3-digit number to make sense.

Now if there was a 3-digit number that’d connect you to all the misc government services in your area, that’d be another thing.

In some cities 211 goes pretty far, but I don’t know how responsive they are.
