By Lauren Maxwell:Help is available for people experiencing a mental health crisis
Lessard said the Alaska Careline at 877-266-HELP is a crisis line for someone considering suicide or those who have questions about suicide. He said the 211 number operated by United Way can also direct Alaskans to local resources.

But if the person in crisis is violent or has a weapon, it’s best to call 911. Lessard recommends people ask for a CIT officer, short for Crisis Intervention Team. Officers on the team have been trained to work with people dealing with mental health issues.

By Angela Krenzien: APD: Mom accused of killing daughter said she ‘did it’

The child’s maternal grandparents were given temporary custody while the protection order was in place.
In his request for a long-term protective order, Hedrick asked that Jackson be treated for mental health and substance abuse. A long-term order was not granted after Hedrick didn’t come to the hearing in October.

Jackson does not have any prior criminal convictions in Alaska. Online court records show Jackson’s bond has been set at $10,000 cash appearance, meaning the full amount would have to be paid before she could be released.
