SLO County Mobile Crisis Team

The Mobile Crisis Team provides crisis services to individuals in the community who are experiencing acute distress and require a rapid response and urgent care. Services are available to youth and adults.

The goal is to assist the individual in stabilizing and remaining in their own environment, prevent the need for higher levels of care (hospitalization), and avoid unnecessary emergency department care, and law enforcement response.

Location: services are performed in any community or private setting across SLO County.
Hours: 24/7, 365 days a year service
To request a Mobile Crisis response, community members can call the Central Coast Hotline at 1-800-783-0607.
