The Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) provides professional, same-day intervention for adults who are experiencing mental health crises. The team visits clients and their families to prevent acute psychiatric crises from becoming emergencies that require law enforcement involvement or involuntary hospitalization. MCRT includes licensed mental health clinicians, community and family support workers and a family nurse practitioner employed by Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services (BHS). The goal is to de-escalate the crisis and safely connect the client with care and mental health resources.
