In episode 5 of The Resilient Edge, Dave Weiner speaks with Dr. Amber McDonald about the growing role of co-response models in improving safety outcomes for individuals, responders, and communities. Amber explains how pairing law enforcement with behavioral health and support professionals allows for more appropriate, humane, and effective responses—especially in complex or emotionally charged situations. The conversation highlights why coordination, early intervention, and shared responsibility are key to reducing escalation and creating safer, more sustainable response systems.
