Leading the way in mental health crisis response: because every second counts

mobile response team

During a mental health crisis, you need immediate and compassionate support. Our Mobile Response Team (MRT) is ready to serve you at no cost,  and we take pride in being one of the first crisis response services established in Maryland. With highly qualified clinicians and peer support, we have been reducing hospitalization, violence, and unnecessary incarceration using effective de-escalation interventions.

We are proud to announce that we have recently launched MRT in two new counties (St. Mary’s County and Charles County). The expansion reflects our commitment to reaching more communities and providing life-saving care to those in need. With the increasing number of calls and growing demand for our services, we have set our sights on a bold goal: transitioning to a 24/7/365 operation, mirroring the successful model of our Prince George’s County MRT.
