In crisis, call:

(883) 827-4747

NYAP’s Mobile Crisis Response (MCR) team provides immediate, community-based crisis services to address: 

  • Mental health challenges 

  • Substance use concerns 

  • Trauma-related distress 

We offer rapid, compassionate responses to safety concerns with in-person assessments, crisis stabilization, community engagement, and follow-up care to improve the well-being of children, youth, and adults within their communities. 


Who Do We Serve?

Within designated communities, MCR serves children, youth, and adults five years and older. We meet individuals and families where they are — physically, emotionally, and culturally. 

What Are The Goals?

The MCR program is built around these key goals to create lasting stability and healing: 

  • Ensuring safety during mental health or behavioral crises 

  • Stabilizing individuals and families to avoid hospitalization, arrest, or displacement 

  • Connecting people to services and supports in their communities 

  • Promoting recovery and resilience through education, empowerment, and access 

  • Strengthening families and communities by reducing crisis recurrence

I was overwhelmed and scared. NYAP’s team showed up within the hour. They didn’t judge me — they helped me get grounded, made a plan, and followed up the next day. I’m stable now, working, and back on track
