A mental health intervention team is a specialized group of professionals trained to respond to individuals experiencing acute  or chronic mental health challenges. These teams provide immediate assessment, de-escalation, often serving as an alternative to law enforcement or emergency rooms in crisis situations.

A 24/7 mental health crisis phone or text line line is a free, confidential helpline that provides immediate support, counseling, and resources to individuals experiencing a mental health emergency. Trained counselors, therapists, or peer specialists answer calls offering immediate support in crisis mental health situations and often specialize in serving specific groups.
