A partnership between the Wilmington Police Department and ChristianaCare, the Wilmington Partners in Care Program pairs trained mental health clinicians with police officers, who respond as a team to calls for service and conduct proactive outreach to support those in need in our community. Our program was launched in March 2024, and presently includes a case manager and two clinicians.
 
During the first quarter of the year – from January 1 through March 31 – the Wilmington Partners in Care team provided services to a total of 204 individuals – including 115 new clients and 89 individuals who had previously been receiving support from the program.
 
Since the inception of this initiative just over a year ago – in March 2024 – the program has provided services to a total of 430 individuals in Wilmington.
 
“As we mark the one-year anniversary of our implementation of the Partners in Care program, we have seen the positive impact of this program spread throughout our city,” said Chief Wilfredo Campos. “We appreciate the dedication of this team, and our partnership with ChristianaCare, and look forward to seeing this program continue to support residents in each of our neighborhoods.”
 
The progress report issued today includes data from the program’s operations over the past several months, as well as details about the types of support that the clinicians and case manager have provided. We will continue to issue quarterly progress reports as the program continues its work in the community.
