Expanding First Response Assessment Tool

Jurisdictions are reimagining their approach to public safety by investing in community responder programs that position health professionals and community members trained in crisis response as first responders.

The Expanding First Response Assessment Tool is a complementary component of the Expanding First Response toolkit that can be used to help communities determine where they are in planning, implementing, and sustaining community responder programs. Upon completing the tool, users will receive a summary of their results and either resources to aid their progress or amplify their success story. The assessment tool is supported by a grant from the Alkermes Inspiration Grants^® program, which is funded by Alkermes, Inc.—a global company funding impactful nonprofit organizations that support people affected by addiction, serious mental illness, and other adversities.
