ABOUT PROGRAM
The Mobile Response Team is a team of Crisis Response Staff who provide community-based support to youth experiencing mental health crises.

The service is intended to offer families, schools, and providers an alternative to calling 911 when law enforcement may not be necessary for the level of presenting concerns.
