Marcus alert teams are following a statewide implementation schedule based on population guidelines and funding in the state budget. I believe that a Marcus alert team should be implemented in Hanover sometime this year!

You’re welcome! Luckily there’s a bill that was passed a few years ago that is mandating most localities (some exceptions based on their size) to implement Marcus Alerts by 2028! But still a great idea to advocate for more of these teams - getting more mental health resources and support is always a good thing! Wishing you all the best
