Officers, judges, attorneys and more playing basketball to raise mental health awareness [Video]

A basketball tournament at the Decatur Rec Center on Saturday isn’t all fun and games, it has a serious message behind it.

Channel 2′s Veronica Griffin was at the Full Court Press tournament which is all about raising awareness for mental health.

Lori Freeman with the DeKalb Criminal Justice Treatment Coalition says it is a cause that is close to her heart. One of her family members experienced a mental health crisis and police had to be called out to help.

The money they raise will be used to help educate police and support the people they are called out to help during a crisis.

“We’re helping those people who have been charged with a misdemeanor crime. We don’t want them incarcerated, that is mental health-related, on the road to recovery,” Freeman told Griffin.
