LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Lake County Behavioral Health reported that its Mobile Crisis Response Team is now active.
The agency said this new crisis response team will be able to respond to where a crisis is happening, throughout Lake County, 24 hours a day.
At the September town hall Lakeport officials held on addressing the homeless crisis, Behavioral Health Director Elise Jones called the team “a whole new paradigm” that will go into the community in real time and help people in their homes.
The team — which will be accompanied by a therapist or able to contact one virtually — will offer support to people in crisis in a safe environment to help them stabilize.
To report such crises and ask for assistance, call 800-900-2075 to reach a local dispatcher.
You can also call or text 988 to reach someone today.
