Mobile Crisis Team
If you are in crisis and cannot get to LifeWays, help can come to you!
The Mobile Crisis Team (MCT) is a team that provides intense, crisis intervention at your home or elsewhere in the community where you feel comfortable.
A youth with feelings of fear, depression, anxiety, anger, thoughts of self-harm, suicide, or harming others is nothing to be ashamed of. If a youth, up to age 21, is experiencing a behavioral, emotional, or psychiatric crisis the Lifeways Intensive Crisis Stabilization Services (ICSS) team can respond to your home, school or another community location — regardless of insurance.
Regardless of your insurance, if you are in crisis, please call our 24-Hour Crisis Line at 1-800-284-8288 or visit our office during business hours.
