Frontier Behavioral Health operates three co-responder teams with the Spokane Police Department and three with the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office. Behavioral health professionals ride alongside law enforcement officers and respond jointly to 911 calls involving behavioral health concerns. Frontier also partners with the Spokane Fire Department, where behavioral health professionals and paramedics respond jointly to crisis calls.

Across all these partnerships, co-responder teams focus on de-escalation, needs assessment, safety planning, and connecting individuals to services, including crisis stabilization and detox.

According to Rayanne Paget, program administrator for Frontier’s co-responder and mobile rapid response teams, this approach has fundamentally altered how Spokane addresses behavioral health crises.

“Co-response is about dignity and stabilization in the least restrictive way possible,” said Paget. “When behavioral health professionals and first responders work together, people get help faster, and outcomes improve for everyone involved.”

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges, yet many people struggle in silence. Anxiety can look different for everyone- racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, feeling overwhelmed, irritability, physical symptoms that feel scary, or constant worry.

If anxiety is affecting your daily life, know that you are not alone and support is available! Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health.
✨ Small steps can make a difference:
• Practice deep breathing
• Get moving, even for a few minutes
• Connect with someone you trust
• Take breaks from stress and social media
• Reach out for professional support when needed

At Frontier Behavioral Health, we’re committed to helping our community find hope, healing, and support! 💙🧡

A recent study published in found that the launch of the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline was associated with nearly 4,400 fewer su***de deaths among teens and young adults nationwide- an 11% reduction compared to what researchers expected to see. Research also found the greatest declines occurred in areas with higher 988 usage.

Here in Eastern Washington, those calls, texts, and chats are answered by compassionate crisis counselors right here at Frontier Behavioral Health. Every day, our 988 team provides support, connection, hope, and resources to individuals experiencing emotional distress, mental health challenges, or thoughts of su***de. This research is a powerful reminder that reaching out works and that every conversation matters. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 anytime, 24/7.
