Mobile crisis Services
Comprehensive Overview of our Mobile crisis services
Delivering mental health support to crisis-stricken individuals wherever they may be
Mobile Crisis Response provides rapid response, assessment and early intervention to individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. This service is provided 23 hours a day, seven days a week.
The purpose of this service includes prevention of acute exacerbation of symptoms, prevention of harm to the individual or others, provision of quality intervention in the least restrictive setting, and development of an immediate plan to maintain safety in order to prevent the need for a higher level of care.
The current code used for Crisis Intervention (H0036) will be replaced by the Mobile Crisis Response service, as this is an enhancement of the current Crisis Intervention service for both youth and adults.
