What is a mobile crisis team?

A mobile crisis team is a group of licensed mental health professionals who respond to psychiatric emergencies in the community. They come to your home, school, workplace, or other safe location to provide on-site crisis assessment and intervention as an alternative to the emergency room.

What should I do in a mental health emergency?

If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. For crisis support, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or text HOME to 741741. Use Link4Help to find the nearest crisis center, psychiatric hospital, or mobile crisis team in your area.

Where can I go for a mental health crisis without insurance?

Many crisis centers and community mental health centers offer free or reduced-cost crisis services regardless of insurance status. Crisis stabilization units, mobile crisis teams, and the 988 Lifeline are all free. Use Link4Help to find free crisis resources near you — filter by your city or state to see facilities that accept walk-ins without insurance.

What happens when you go to a crisis center?

When you arrive at a crisis center, a licensed mental health professional will perform a psychiatric evaluation to assess your safety and needs. You may receive crisis counseling, medication management, and a safety plan. Most visits last a few hours, though crisis stabilization units can provide short-term stays of up to 72 hours. No appointment or referral is needed.

Can I walk into a psychiatric hospital?

Yes. Most psychiatric hospitals with emergency departments accept walk-in patients experiencing a mental health crisis. You do not need a referral or prior authorization. If you are unsure where to go, call 988 for guidance or use Link4Help to find psychiatric hospitals near you that accept walk-ins.

How do I get help for someone in a mental health crisis?

If someone you know is in crisis: 1) Call 911 if they are in immediate danger. 2) Call 988 to speak with a crisis counselor who can advise you. 3) Request a mobile crisis team through your local crisis center — they come to the person's location. 4) Stay with the person and remove access to any means of self-harm. Use Link4Help to find mobile crisis teams in your area.

Are mobile crisis teams free?

Yes. Mobile crisis teams are generally free to the person receiving services. They are typically funded through state Medicaid programs, federal grants, and community mental health block grants. A mobile crisis team will come to your home, school, or other safe location to provide on-site crisis assessment and intervention.

What is the difference between calling 988 and 911 for a mental health crisis?

Call 911 when there is immediate physical danger or a medical emergency. Call or text 988 for mental health crisis support — it connects you to trained crisis counselors who specialize in mental health and suicide prevention. 988 can also dispatch mobile crisis teams in many areas, providing a mental-health-specific alternative to law enforcement.

Is a crisis stabilization unit the same as an emergency room?

No. A crisis stabilization unit (CSU) specializes exclusively in mental health crises, while a hospital emergency room handles all types of medical emergencies. CSUs offer a calmer environment with psychiatric specialists, typically allow stays of up to 23-72 hours, and are often free. For non-life-threatening mental health crises, a CSU is usually a better option than an ER.
