Help When You Need It

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CALL

 

Mobile Crisis response provides an immediate evaluation, triage and access to acute MH/DD/SA services, treatment and supports. These services include immediate telephonic response to assess the crisis and determine the risk, mental status, medical stability and appropriate response.

 

Be prepared to give the MCM team as much information as possible when you contact them such as:  name, date of birth, diagnoses, medications, Medicaid number, medical issues, brief psychiatric history, family issues and concerns, history of aggression, history of law enforcement involvement and current concern.
