She Made the Right Call — A Mother’s Bold Move That Changed Everything
When a mother recognized her daughter was in the midst of a mental health emergency, she made a bold and loving choice — to call for care, not criminalization. This powerful story highlights how the right support at the right moment can transform lives.
In partnership with 1 Million Madly Motivated Moms (1M4), the Georgetown Law Center for Innovations in Community Safety (CICS), and Canopy Roots’ Minneapolis Behavioral Crisis Response (BCR) program, this video showcases how alternative, community-based crisis response can provide compassionate care when a person needs it most. Together, these organizations are working to reimagine public safety by centering healing, dignity, and family.
