A Mobile Crisis Team is a group of behavioral health professionals — such as social workers, peer specialists and family peer advocates — who can provide care and short-term management for people who are experiencing severe behavioral crisis.

Services are primarily provided in people's homes, as well as in schools/community establishments for those experiencing crisis or an urgent mental health need.

This service is for people who do not need immediate hospitalization.

Mobile Crisis Teams can provide mental health engagement, intervention and follow-up support to help people remain connected with treatment providers. The teams may offer a range of services, including:

· Assessment

· Crisis intervention

· Supportive counseling

· Information and referrals, including to community-based mental health services
