Mobile Crisis Teams Program

Research Focus

This program funds the establishment or enhancement of mobile crisis teams serving children, youth, and adults in acute mental health or substance use crises. The initiative targets a critical gap in behavioral health infrastructure: the over-reliance on law enforcement and emergency departments for crisis response. Funded projects will develop structured partnerships among crisis response providers, behavioral health systems, and emergency services to create alternative pathways for crisis intervention. The program seeks to expand crisis response capacity while generating implementation evidence on effective team models, partnership structures, and outcomes in reducing unnecessary law enforcement involvement and emergency department utilization for behavioral health emergencies.
