Mobile Crisis Unit

A Mobile Crisis Unit (MCU) is a specialized team of mental health professionals that responds quickly to individuals experiencing mental health emergencies, such as extreme distress, suicidal thoughts, or psychiatric crises. They provide on-the-spot assessment, crisis intervention, short-term treatment, and support, often in the person's community or home. The goal is to stabilize the individual, reduce the need for emergency room visits or law enforcement involvement, and connect them with ongoing care. This approach offers compassionate, immediate assistance tailored to the person's needs, promoting safety and mental well-being.
