www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com If there is any question about whether the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office’s Mental Health Task Force is needed, the answer may lie in the number of phone calls the task force gets about mental health resources.

A mental health issue can tied into a multitude of problems that sheriff’s deputies get called out on, whether it’s someone acting erratic or a person experiencing substance abuse issues, according to mental health professionals who work with the Sheriff’s Office.

And, the Mental Health Task Force has become a front line that friends and family members of those people are turning to for help.
