Keris Jän Myrick, co-director of the Mental Health Strategic Impact Initiative, said that she was “struck” by how leaders of the 988 initiative were making the “a priori assumption” that geolocation tracking “is a good thing.” Myrick said the issues are complex. “Many times—I have had this happen in my own life—we’re calling for help, and it ends up in harm, it ends up in handcuffs. And, for worse, for many people, it also ends up in death; not at their own hands, but at the hands of the response team.”
