Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT)
When a mental health crisis happens, sometimes you need help to come to you. Clackamas County Mobile Crisis Response Team is a free, alternative to unnecessary psychiatric hospitalization or police response, bringing immediate, compassionate support directly into the community.
Our clinicians and peer specialists respond in real time, meeting people where they are to de-escalate crises and connect them to the care they need. As the need for community-based care grows, our teams are expanding to reach more people across suburb, city, and rural areas of Clackamas County.
How Mobile Crisis Response Works
The Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) receives referrals from 988, local crisis lines, law enforcement agencies, and Clackamas County's non-emergency dispatch center. When a call is received regarding someone experiencing a mental health crisis in Clackamas County, MCRT clinicians and peer support specialists work with callers to assess the situation by phone and determine the most appropriate response. When needed, a Mobile Crisis Team can be dispatched to the individual's location to provide in-person support.
MCRT is a free, interdisciplinary crisis response service that serves as an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization or law enforcement intervention whenever appropriate. The team provides emergency mental health support to individuals experiencing mental health, behavioral health, or substance use crises. Each Mobile Crisis Team consists of a master's-level mental health clinician and a peer support specialist with lived experience of mental health challenges, allowing for both clinical expertise and peer-informed support during crisis response.

Like a physical health crisis, a mental health crisis can be devastating for individuals, families, and communities. MCRT is committed to services and supports to best meet the needs of individuals experiencing a mental health crisis.
Too often people experiencing a mental health crisis are met with delay, detainment and even denial of service in a manner that creates undue burden on the person, families, law enforcement, emergency departments and justice systems.
Call the crisis and support line at 503-655-8585 for a mental health crisis and MCRT can be dispatched.
