More Information about the Mobile Crisis Team
The Mobile Crisis Team is designed to respond to non-emergency calls pertaining to mental health. Mental health crises include difficult and destabilizing situations such as depression, anxiety, grief, bullying, substance abuse, psychological or behavioral issues related to aging, and more. The MCT also facilitates relevant referrals to housing and homeless services.
The MCT provides care to individuals of all ages, and care is provided only to those that voluntarily request it, and are willing to receive it. Any action(s) that become a physical safety concern or life-threatening are beyond the MCT’s mission and services.
The team travels in an unmarked mobile service van to assess an individual’s mental health condition in privacy. Once they meet with and assess the person in need, the team connects them to helpful resources and support.
