Presented by SAMSHA GAINS Center, individuals who experience mental health crises may also be in need of physical health care. This webinar explores two models for integrated mental health and physical health mobile crisis response. Both models coordinate with law enforcement, although neither have officers represented on the team. Williamson County Emergency Medical Services operates the Mobile Outreach Team which provides mental health and emergency medical response. The White Bird Clinic's CAHOOTS program in Oregon consists of a medic and mental health clinician who provide immediate stabilization as dispatched through local police departments.
