Mobile crisis teams are specialized groups of mental health professionals who respond to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. They provide immediate support and intervention in the community, often visiting the person at their location. This approach helps to de-escalate situations and connect individuals with appropriate resources, such as therapy or hospitalization if needed. These teams typically include trained social workers, psychologists, or psychiatrists who work collaboratively with local law enforcement and emergency services. Their goal is to offer compassionate care, reduce the need for emergency room visits, and promote recovery in a familiar environment.
