This program sends out HOPE teams that respond alongside traditional first responders (Fire/EMS/Law Enforcement) to behavioral health crisis calls. The professional staff provides short-term medical help and case management assistance.

Everyone is welcome to join this program which is co-sponsored by the Tacoma, Olympia, and Seattle Fellowship of Reconciliation Chapters.

About the Holistic Outreach Promoting Engagement (HOPE) program

(this information is from the City of Tacoma website, see link below)

In 2023, the City of Tacoma Fire Department established a team intended to respond to behavioral health crisis and effectively engage with people impacted by mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders.

HOPE stands for Holistic Outreach Promoting Engagement. Our program will support community members during behavioral health crisis scenarios, and the first responders, courts, jails, community providers, and hospitals supporting those same community members. The HOPE program is part of the City of Tacoma’s broader alternative response initiative.
