CAST Program Transforms Crisis Response | Cork News
A groundbreaking pilot program in Limerick called CAST—Community Access Support Team—is proving that compassion beats handcuffs. By pairing gardaí with mental health professionals, CAST responds to crises with care, not arrest. In just one year, they handled over 1,000 incidents, prevented 130 detentions, cut ER visits by 60+, and stopped arrests. Families say it restored hope; individuals credit it with saving lives. The results? A humane, efficient model now being pushed for nationwide adoption. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn. Advertise…
