Creating Partnerships to Strengthen Community‑Led Crisis Response

Willamette Valley Crisis Care (WVCC), founded by former CAHOOTS crisis workers, has partnered with TASC’s Center for Health and Justice (CHJ), a nationally recognized leader in deflection, to help jurisdictions and communities design, launch, and strengthen community responder deflection programs.

Together, CHJ and WVCC help communities build sustainable, civilian‑led, health‑centered responses that reduce pressure on law enforcement, open the door to timely care, and strengthen both public safety outcomes and community trust.
