Mobile Crisis Response Services
- The Mobile Crisis Response Services (MCRS) is designed to respond to
the needs of youth/adolescents and their families/guardians in dealing with
crises involving mental health and or addictive diseases. MCRS will work in
conjunction with other community services available to serve the youth and
adolescents in Chatham, Bryan, Effingham, and Liberty counties 24 hours per
day and seven days a week. Services include telephone triage and face to
face intervention, facilitation of linkage with community providers to
include Intensive Family Intervention Services and Lakeside Center (youth
and adolescent crisis stabilization unit), referrals to community mental
health centers, networking with community providers and educating consumers
of services in early detection of signs and symptoms of relapse and early
intervention to allow resolution of the crisis in the least restrictive
environment. MCRS clinicians will be expected to respond to emergencies
immediately and may involve travel to homes, schools, local emergency rooms,
and or other locations to best meet the needs of those in crisis. MCRS
clinicians will take call on a rotating basis to provide coverage to the
service area.
