What does STAR stand for and what does STARvada do?

It stands for Support Team Assisted Response. The name refers to a partnership between Arvada Fire and WellPower and our goal of sending the right people to help with crisis related to mental health. 

STARvada provides person-centric mobile crisis response to community members who are experiencing problems related to mental health, depression, homelessness, or substance use issues. The co-responder team provides crisis assessment and referral services, community outreach and support, and transportation to alternative destinations such as a crisis center if needed.
