檀香山市MH-3心理危机响应转为常设 警方危机干预队扩编一倍
檀香山市宣布，原为试点项目的 Mental Health 3（MH-3）心理健康危机响应计划转为常设，并扩展至整个欧胡岛。该计划由檀香山警察局、CORE社区外展响应团队、行为健康专业人员和无家可归者外展机构共同执行，自启动以来已协助150人，把正经历心理危机的人连接到适当医疗与服务。
市府说，夏威夷 Act 219 法案让团队在符合特定条件、且当事人可能危及自己或他人又无法自愿治疗时，可将其送往紧急精神评估。每次 MH-3 出勤须有医生或高级执业注册护士到场评估，并配社区健康工作者、急救技术员和心理健康紧急工作人员；警方危机干预队也已扩编一倍。居民如担心无家可归者状况，可通过 HNL311 或电话提交非紧急请求。（资料来源：檀香山市长办公室）
Honolulu Makes MH-3 Mental-Health Crisis Response Permanent Across Oʻahu
Honolulu announced that the Mental Health 3 (MH-3) initiative, launched as a pilot, is now permanent and expanding across Oʻahu. The program brings together the Honolulu Police Department, CORE outreach teams, behavioral-health professionals and homeless-outreach providers, and has assisted 150 people since launch.
Officials said Hawaiʻi’s Act 219 allows qualified individuals in behavioral-health crisis to be transported for an emergency psychiatric evaluation when specific criteria are met. MH-3 calls include a physician or advanced practice registered nurse, community health workers, EMTs and a designated mental-health emergency worker; HPD has also doubled its Crisis Intervention Team. Non-emergency requests can be submitted through HNL311. (Source: Office of the Mayor, City and County of Honolulu)
