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.
 
The team is also being supported by a dedicated member of the ChristianaCare Substance Overdose Support (SOS) team, a peer who is working alongside our clinicians and case manager to support those suffering from substance use challenges and who is also assisting with wound care referrals.
 
During the third quarter of the year – from July 1 through September 30 – the Wilmington Partners in Care team provided services to a total of 153 individuals – including 111 new clients and 42 clients who had previously been receiving support from the program.
 
Since the inception of this initiative in March 2024 – the program has provided services to a total of 654 individuals in Wilmington.
 
“Month after month, we continue to see the positive impact that our Partners in Care team is having in neighborhoods across Wilmington,” said Chief Wilfredo Campos. “We are proud of the work of our team, and appreciate all that they do each day to support and uplift our residents and community.”
 
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.
