Youth Crisis Calls
Why we track this indicator
Utilization of the Youth Crisis Mobile Team for children and youth ages 0-22 provides rapid, in-person support to young people and their families experiencing mental health or substance use crises. These services offer a continuum of care, aiming to stabilize crises in the community, reduce the need for emergency room visits or inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, and connect youth with ongoing mental health and social services.
