Georgia Mobile Crisis Response
Mobile Crisis Response
Behavioral Health Link has specialized in crisis services for mental health, substance use, and developmental disabilities for more than 29 years. During that time our statewide call center has gained national recognition as one of the top crises call center providers in the United States.
BHL’s mobile crisis response teams provide FREE 24/7 face-to-face crisis intervention services which includes:
- On-site crisis intervention through assessment
- De-escalation
- Consultation
- Safety planning
- Referral and post-crisis follow-up
BHL focuses on a client centered approach and meets the individual where they are, and works to link them to the most appropriate level of care.
Our services provide timely crisis intervention and linkage to the appropriate services based on the strengths, needs, abilities, and preferences of the person in need to mitigate any barriers or delays.
Inpatient and outpatient referrals
For individuals referred to inpatient services, mobile crisis services will work with GCAL or private providers to secure appropriate placement.
For individuals referred to outpatient services or other community-based services, a certified peer specialist will provide follow-up until a linkage is confirmed.
Connecting the BHL Platform to Mobile Crisis Services
The BHL Platform alerts, coordinates, and tracks mobile crisis response teams to provide rapid, tailored care alongside, or in lieu of, traditional 911 responders.
