Racial Justice Series: Policing, Race, & Mental Health
The Philadelphia Treatment Not Trauma Coalition (TNT) was convened by licensed clinical social worker Nomi Teutsch in December, 2020 in response to the murder of Walter Wallace Jr., an African American man with mental health challenges, at the hands of Philadelphia Police. TNT fights for funding for non-police mental health emergency responders in Philadelphia. This group was instrumental in making an impact on the Philadelphia FY21 Budget Season, securing ~$7 million in new funding for an overhaul of mobile crisis services in the city of Philadelphia.
