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.
