About Seth Plummer

As a Behavioral Health Emergency Services Clinician at Milwaukee County, I provide critical crisis intervention and behavioral health assessments, focusing on de-escalation, stabilization, and connecting individuals experiencing acute mental health crises with appropriate care and support. I work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, community partners, and law enforcement to implement co-response models and ensure coordinated support in high-pressure environments. Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology from the University of Minnesota, I am skilled in crisis mobile response, community mental health, and risk assessment. I am deeply committed to advancing equitable, trauma-informed practices that reduce barriers to care and promote recovery for individuals and communities during moments of significant distress.
