MPD’s Victim Services Unit is offering two events to connect people in need with counseling and crisis intervention resources so those who are struggling can get the help they need.
“You can have mental health care out there, but everybody may not have that access, so we wanted to put on these two events to make sure the people in Mobile have access to this care,” said victim advocate Stacey Woodyard.
“We have a young lady who was down there and witnessed this incident and now she’s having issues sleeping,” said Brandie Battiste with victim advocate. “We just want to make sure people are able to go back into their lives and live them to the fullest.” “We can talk to them on the spot and help them process things or we can refer them to outpatient counseling services,” said Dr. Cindy Gipson.
“Everybody’s response is different and what they need to heal and move beyond it is different as well,” said Gipson.
