Children's Mobile Crisis Program
The Children's Mobile Crisis Program provides urgent mental health response to children, youth and families who are experiencing serious emotional, behavioral and / or psychiatric crisis. The program seeks to stabilize child and family crises which could likely lead to hospitalization or an out-of-home placement through the provision of rapid assessment and intervention services provided in natural and community-based settings.

The program offers short-term mental health services to stabilize and support children, youth and families through a crisis period, and links them, as necessary, to longer term community-based services. Mobile Crisis services are intended to reduce the number of children / youth presenting to hospital emergency rooms in psychiatric crisis; divert inpatient / residential admissions and legal involvement whenever possible and appropriate; and to improve access to community-based mental health services.
