On the Road with the Mobile Crisis Response Team

Mobile Crisis Response Teams, or MCRTs, are now available countywide for people experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. The teams of behavioral health experts offer non-law enforcement intervention whenever possible. They travel to the patients to assess the individual’s condition, expedite medication, connect them to support services including food and shelter, and even provide transportation. The training, compassion, and resources these teams bring with them on every call is proving to be a winning combination.

If you need help with a behavioral health crisis or know someone who does, call the Access & Crisis Line at (888) 724-7240.
