Introducing EMHS Auxilium — Compassionate Emergency Mental Health Care
EMHS Auxilium is a nonprofit organization my friend Brandon Franklin founded with a mission to help reimagine and improve the current Baker Act system by creating a faster, more compassionate response to mental health crises.
In its current form, the Baker Act system is outdated. Response times are often too long, and law enforcement officers are typically the first to arrive to transport individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. While police serve an important role in public safety, mental health emergencies are best handled by trained mental health professionals.
Our goal is to build an app and response system that enables timely, specialized mental health crisis intervention, ensuring that people in distress receive care from professionals trained specifically to support them.
If this cause speaks to your heart, or if you’ve seen firsthand how vital compassionate support can be for someone experiencing a mental health crisis under the Baker Act, we invite you to help us make a difference.
Please consider sharing this fundraiser to spread awareness, and donating if you feel moved to do so. Every share helps more people understand the need for change, and every contribution—big or small—helps bring support, resources, and hope to those who need it most.
Together, we can show that no one has to face these difficult moments alone. 💙
