Mental Health Support

Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT):

Our Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT), in partnership with Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), is made up of a police officer and mental health clinician trained to defuse or de-escalate crisis situations. This team also advocates for those in crisis and ensure mental health assessments are completed where they are needed most. There are many other resources/supports MCRT can connect individuals to including but not limited to addiction services, housing services, food/clothing supports and counselling. MCRT attends live calls from Monday to Friday 8:30-4:30 pm and also follows up on all calls experienced in the off-hours.
