Bert Nash has fully launched their Mobile Crisis Response Team as of September 11, 2022. Mobile Crisis Response Services are short-term, face to face services designed to restore a person’s mental health functioning level to pre-crisis levels. Crisis assessment, intervention, and stabilization services are provided on-site where the individual is located. Mobile Response will respond to a person in mental health crises in the location where they are experiencing their crisis. Crisis is defined by the person but can include, and is not limited, to psychoses, suicidality, serious mental illness, substance use, and more. All Mobile Response Team referrals from the Douglas County Crisis Line will be for people who have consented to have a team sent to their location.
