Mobile Response Team (MRT): if your child is in a heightened emotional state and you fear their safety, your safety, or their thoughts and actions regarding potential suicide, this team will come out to your home 24/7 to assess and do their best to aid in next steps for your child, potentially warding off a Baker Act if not necessary. If deemed necessary, they will help with providing recommendations and supporting you throughout this process. Serving ages 25 years old and younger.
