A ribbon-cutting will be held at 10:15 with tours offered throughout the day.The Andrews Diversion Center represents a smarter, more compassionate response to behavioral health crisis, according to Andrews Chief Executive Officer Becki Mangum. Too often, families, law enforcement officers, and other first responders are left with only two immediate options when someone is in crisis: the emergency room or jail. At times, neither is the right fit.“The Andrews Diversion Center creates a new and better path,” Mangum added. “It is designed to provide timely screening, observation, short-term stabilization, and connection to the care and support that fit the person and the moment.” She added that the center is available to residents in the Andrews service area: Henderson, Rains, Smith, Wood, and Van Zandt counties.Keisha Morris, executive director of operations, will lead the Andrews Behavioral Health Diversion Center: “This center gives individuals, families, law enforcement officers, and other first responders a better option in difficult moments,” Morris said. “Our goal is to help people get screened, understand what support they need next, and move forward with dignity and a clearer path to care.”The new center will support individuals experiencing behavioral health crisis while also helping families, law enforcement, hospital emergency departments, and other community partners navigate difficult moments with greater clarity and compassion. The Diversion Center provides individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis with a safe place to receive support and stabilization for up to 23 hours. When additional care is needed, staff will help determine the most appropriate next step and connect the individual with the services and resources they need.</div></body>
