Our Community Crisis Response team is a community-based public safety system to provide mental health first response for crises involving mental illness, homelessness, and addiction.
CRT deals with a wide range of mental health related crises, including conflict resolution, welfare checks, substance abuse, suicide threats, grief and loss, and more, relying on trauma-informed de-escalation and harm reduction techniques.
We are also active in responding to youth crisis in our schools.
