County outlines MIST and Eureka mobile crisis coverage and reports 27 new CARE Court petitions
Summary
Staff described MIST’s move toward 24/7 coverage, Eureka’s 8:00–7:00 daily mobile crisis coverage, and said the CARE Court program received 27 new petitions in the last two months; planning continues for a Mad River Crisis Triage Center.
Paul Bugnacki told the board that MIST is orienting three new peer coaches and that collaboration with law enforcement and the City of Eureka is "great." He outlined coverage plans: the Eureka mobile crisis team will provide coverage from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. seven days a week while MIST aims for 24/7 coverage.
Bugnacki also reported that the CARE Court program accepted 27 new petitions in the last two months and that preliminary work continues on a new Crisis Triage Center at Mad River, with monthly planning meetings and cost‑saving modifications under consideration.
