Mobile Crisis Response (MCR) is a crisis assessment service designed to support individuals during an acute behavioral health crisis at any time, regardless of age or diagnosis. MCR is delivered face-to-face at the location of the crisis, providing “rapid response” and first responder interventions. With limited inpatient resources and many crises that do not involve hospitalization, MCR supports individuals' immediate health and safety needs while being assessed for appropriate care needs. In addition, MCR provides crisis intervention and coordinated follow-up care, outpatient, all in the community, with each person's natural support and environment.
