Immediate, in-person support for people experiencing an active behavioral health crisis.

Mobile Crisis Response is designed for individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis who need immediate intervention and support.

A trained crisis team can respond directly to the individual’s location, providing face-to-face support in the community.

Mobile Crisis Response provides:

• 24/7 crisis response
• Face-to-face response typically within 1 hour in urban areas and 2 hours in rural areas
• Crisis de-escalation and stabilization
• Safety assessment and safety planning
• Connection to appropriate behavioral health and community resources
• An alternative to unnecessary emergency room visits, hospitalization or law enforcement involvement when appropriate

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to become an emergency before asking for help.

Connecting You to Help

The Region 8 Mobile Crisis Partnership works in coordination with the Louisiana Crisis Hub, the statewide crisis dispatch system that connects individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis with the appropriate Mobile Crisis Response team.

When a crisis call originates in Region 8, the Crisis Hub can connect the individual with the regional response system so trained professionals can be dispatched to provide assistance in the community.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, help is available.
