Updated state-specific mobile crisis listings now available

When someone is experiencing a severe mental health crisis, they may urgently require a face-to-face response from a mental health professional. Twice each year, our mobile crisis listings are updated to reflect the mobile crisis providers available in your area – the cities or counties they operate in, phone numbers, hours of operation and other key information, as needed.

How mobile crisis teams supplement your care

Mobile crisis teams can provide short-term management within the individual's community, including their family or other support systems. They work to:

• Assist people in crisis and help resolve the crisis, when possible
• Provide intervention in a setting where the person in crisis is most comfortable and the intervention is least restrictive (which is often the person’s home or another place in their community)
• Give appropriate care and support without involving law enforcement, emergency departments or hospitalization when possible
• Link people in crisis to medical and behavioral health services that can help resolve the situation and prevent future crises

Most mobile crisis teams include both professional and paraprofessional staff – for example, a master’s-level clinician and a peer support staff person. If a Mobile Crisis Team determines that further psychiatric or medical assessment is needed, they can arrange for individuals to be transported to a hospital psychiatric emergency room.
