Abstract
This capstone explores the integration of anti-oppressive practice (AOP) in Mobile Mental Health Crisis Response. The exploration is based on a comprehensive literature review of three crisis response models: police-led, co-response, and non-police community response. Each model is evaluated according to its effectiveness, challenges, and limitations, focusing on outcomes for marginalized populations. Findings suggest that while progress has been made in reducing harmful outcomes, significant gaps remain in the ability of each of these models to address the complex needs of individuals in mental health crises, especially those from marginalized groups. Recommendations include the integration of AOP across all models as a key way to improve service delivery and outcomes across all three models, the decreased deployment of police-led response, and the increased use of non-police community response models to address mental health crises.
