Compassionate Community Response Team (CCRT)
Co-responding to the needs of our communities and community members.
Our Compassionate Community Response Team is a joint effort between mental health professionals at Range Mental Health Center and local emergency services departments providing on-site mental health help.
A crisis co-responder model, CCRT provides mobile, on-site response to calls related to biopsychosocial barriers, mental health, substance use, repeat/frequent calls and unmet needs, among others. The team also assists in non-criminal, non-emergent medical and law enforcement calls, as well as other requests not clearly medical or criminal.
Examples of CCRT responses could include:
- Mental health concerns or crises
- Intoxication, substance use, treatment needs
- Homelessness
- Poverty
- Hoarding
- Unmet basic needs
- Repeat calls where a need is potentially still not being met by transporting the patient to the hospital, or simply clearing the scene of a call
Resources provided include:
- Crisis stabilization
- Crisis assessment for mental health needs
- Assistance with admission to a detoxification or treatment facility
- Facilitation of connection and supported access to community partner services where resources for housing and basic needs are provided
