Molly Schaeffer confirms that mental health support is available for migrants who witnessed a violent incident, with behavioral health specialists on-site.

  • Behavioral health specialists are available on-site for migrants.
  • The Mayor's Office of Asylum Seeker Operations (MOASO) collaborates with health and hospital services to provide support.
  • The support is in response to a specific violent incident witnessed by migrants.

But lastly, I wanted to ask because I think this is also really important is after that the incident where the young man was was murdered in front of, you know, many other migrants.

Was there any effort to bring in any level of, like, mental health support so that they had, you know, somebody to talk to about what they had just experienced.
