THE MONTEBELLO POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL USE LEMHWA GRANT FUNDS TO SEND ADDITIONAL STAFF TO CERTIFICATION COURSES IN PEER SUPPORT TO CREATE A WELLNESS UNIT. BY TAKING A WHOLE BODY APPROACH TO WELLNESS, THE AGENCY WILL INCORPORATE PHYSICAL FITNESS HEALTH AS A PILLAR TO THE PROGRAM. IT IS CRUCIAL THAT WE LEARN TO RECOGNIZE WHEN MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS ARE ABOVE OUR LEVEL OF SUPPORT. FOR THIS PURPOSE WE HAVE DEVELOPED AND WILL CONTINUE TO FOSTER A RELATIONSHIP WITH LOCAL CLERGY AND PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS.
