**Community Connection: Exploring Mental Health and Community Resources**

Today on Community Connection, we're diving into the world of mental health and community resources. Join Tina Cosby as she discusses the importance of having specialized units in place to handle mental health crises, and how they're making a difference in our community. From the IMPD's Mobile Crisis Assistance Team (MCAT) to the Clinician-Led Community Response Team (CLCR), we're exploring the innovative ways our city is addressing mental health needs.

Tina's conversation with Major Tabatha McLemore of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Operations Support Bureau, shines a light on the city's efforts to provide support and resources for those struggling with mental health issues. We're also talking about the new Driver Exchange Tool, a digital platform that allows citizens to report minor accidents and exchange information with other drivers, reducing the need for police involvement. Plus, we're discussing the upcoming Christmas Nights of Lights at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and the importance of timely holiday shipping deadlines.

But it's not all serious business - we're also chatting about the latest news and updates, from the Colts' trade deadline to the National Urban League's new museum in Harlem. And, of course, we're sharing some fun and creative ideas for the holiday season, from DIY gifts to festive activities.

Join us for a thought-provoking and informative conversation that will leave you feeling inspired and connected to your community. Listen to the full episode to hear more about the MCAT and CLCR teams, the Driver Exchange Tool, and all the other topics we're discussing.
