Chr & Mobile Crisis (211)
We want to be certain that you know EMPS/211 Mobile Crisis Services are available to
support schools and families during this stressful time. They are providing phone consultation
and telehealth virtual sessions to children and families.
Not only do they wish to continue to provide support to schools, but the parents/caregivers
who feel the need for support with parenting stress or even their child’s mental health or
behavioral needs. Due to the pandemic, they are also screening families for health risk. This
enables them to make decisions around the most high risk situations where an in-person
response might be necessary.
If you need support... Dial 211, 1 and 1 again to reach the crisis team.
