flag A $230K grant expands Timmins' crisis team to operate weekdays, adding a full-time worker to improve mental health response.

flag A $230,538 provincial grant will expand the Timmins mobile crisis response team, allowing it to operate from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, starting in late 2025. flag The funding adds a full-time crisis worker—either a nurse or social worker—to improve coordination with daytime community services. flag Since its 2019 launch, the joint Timmins Police Service and hospital team has handled 700 to 800 annual mental health or addiction calls, resolving about 80% in the community and reducing police wait times in emergency departments. flag The expansion aims to enhance early intervention and public safety by pairing officers with mental health professionals.
