Mobile crisis services offer community-based interventions for individuals experiencing behavioral health or substance use-related crises, providing de-escalation and relief wherever the crisis occurs, including at home, work, school, or in the community.

Delivered by a multidisciplinary team of trained behavioral health professionals, these services include rapid response, individual assessment, and community-based stabilization, aiming to de-escalate and stabilize the situation, reduce immediate danger, and avoid unnecessary emergency department visits, psychiatric hospitalizations, and law enforcement involvement.

This program offers crucial services for individuals requiring immediate crisis intervention and stabilization.
