New Research Suggests 911 Call Centers Lack Resources to Handle Behavioral Health Crises

Every year, millions of 911 calls involve a person experiencing an emergency related to a mental health or substance use disorder—situations often referred to as behavioral health crises.

An Edmonton firefighter braved a prolonged ice bath Saturday to help raise awareness and money to support Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Wesley Bauman took the polar plunge and stayed put in an ice bath for just shy of an hour and a half Saturday evening at the Edmonton Craft Beer Festival. Initially, Bauman planned to shatter the Guinness World Records time of three hours. “It didn’t go as well as expected,” Bauman told CTV News Edmonton.
