Crisis Care Mobile Units (CCMU)

The CCMU program consists of four mobile response teams. The Crisis Co- Response Team (CCRT) that works in collaboration with law enforcement officers and Behavioral Health staff working together, out in the field, to prevent unnecessary placement of individuals on involuntary holds and to avoid the use of acute involuntary psychiatric hospitalization by providing interventions and linkage to needed treatment and/or community services. The School Based Respond Team (SBRT) provides mobile crisis intervention services to individuals experiencing a psychiatric or emotional crisis at the local schools, the Care Response Team (CRT), which will provide assistance to the local hospital and ICBHS Outpatient clinics, and Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) will provide immediate field-based de-escalation services. The MCRT will respond to law enforcement agencies and other community agencies requesting intervention for individuals experiencing psychiatric or emotional distress. The mobile unit will be used to provide outreach in different communities by giving individuals the opportunity to immediately access services when located in their community. The intention is to make mental health and other supportive services more accessible to individuals experiencing psychiatric emergencies by providing outreach.
