Description

Licensed mental health therapists provide face-to-face risk assessments for at-risk individuals with mental health and/or substance abuse needs. Crisis Response Therapists are contacted by law enforcement, through the court system, or hospitals to assist with such people in crisis and are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. CRT interventions allow individuals to be cared for in a manner more suitable to their needs, while enabling law enforcement to respond more quickly to other calls.
