Community Crisis Response is compassionate care delivered by unarmed community members who are trained to help.
Groups of people who dispatch these responses are called community crisis response teams, or CCRTs.
Common responses coordinated by CCRTs include
Administering mental health first aid
De-escalating a crisis
Delivering basic needs, like food and water
Reversing an opioid overdose
Safety checks
We work with CCRTs to build the tools and foster the relationships needed to sustain successful programs.
