Call A Local Mobile Crisis Unit
Mobile crisis units provide on-site response to mental health emergency situations. Usually available 24 hours a day, a mobile crisis unit is dispatched within one to two hours to the caller’s location, or sooner if a high level of danger to self or others is detected. Upon arrival, the mobile crisis team–usually comprised of clinical professionals or trained para-professionals–evaluates the situation and conducts a clinical assessment of the person in crisis. Often, the individual receives brief on-site counseling and assessment and is transported or connected to appropriate local resources.
