Mobile Crisis Program

Mobile Crisis is a program that is staffed by trained masters’ level clinicians who provide adults and children with clinical screening in person, at the place of the crisis, at the local mental health center, or over the telephone.

The goal is to de-escalate the crisis and provide individuals in crisis and their families, with ongoing mental health treatment, as well as, any needed community resources. We also strive to support those in crisis and divert those served from unnecessary hospitalizations and incarcerations, develop safety plans and assist with connecting the individuals to the appropriate level of care.

If you or someone you know needs services, we can be reached at the mobile crisis hotline. Calls will be answered by representatives who will screen the call and route them to one of our locally trained staff. The Mobile Crisis Hotline number is: 833-364-2274.
