How Does MRSS Work?

All it takes to initiate a visit is a phone call 988 and request an MRSS response.

  • De-escalate the situation in the least restrictive setting possible

  • Develop a safety plan with the youth and family

  • Prevent the crisis from worsening and stabilize the situation by building skills and making appropriate referrals for support and services

  • Offer up to 42 days of support to assist in stabilizing the youth and family.
