How Support is Provided

 

Telehealth (Triage)

MCR Staff provide support via Telehealth (phone or video conference) to de-escalate a crisis, provide interventions and connect you with community supports and mental healthcare referrals.

In Person Response

ASSESS - STABLIZE-SUPPORT 

Although many crises are resolved via telehealth, in-person responses can still be necessary.  When determined that in-person care is needed, crisis teams are dispatched to the community.  Trained professionals de-escalate the crisis, assess for interventions and stabilize the situation.
