What Are Mobile Crisis Services?
24/7/365 Phone and On-Site Support
Serving Crawford County, Pennsylvania
Mobile crisis services are community-based, on-site mental health intervention services with the goal of de-escalating and stabilizing an emergent situation. The team, which could include mental health providers, law enforcement, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), or other agencies, would also help to provide connections and resources for ongoing support.

- enhancements to community safety and well-being
- rapid, but compassionate care in an individual’s environment

Our professionals work to provide compassionate and immediate care that promotes safety, dignity, and recovery for all. As other health services do, we maintain confidentially for those treated.
