Other Crisis Services

Mobile Crisis Outreach Teams provide support to individuals and families in the community, at times partnering and responding with law enforcement. Where possible crisis mental health services are facilitated at the Recovery Outreach Center, but there are occasions where emergent mental health services need to be provided to community members in their home or place of crisis. Regardless of a person's insurance, mobile mental health services can be provided. Please talk with our crisis line staff to inquire further about this resource for you, a loved one or someone you may be concerned about.
