Mobile Crisis Response Team now Available in Stephenville and Bay St. George Area

Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Health Services is announcing the expansion of mobile crisis response services in the Western Zone to individuals in the Stephenville, Bay St. George, and Bay St. George South areas, in partnership with the RCMP.

Mobile crisis response teams include mental health and addictions clinicians and trained police officers who respond together to crises in the community. The purpose of these teams is to deliver crisis intervention services directly to people in the community, eliminating the need to visit emergency departments and involve the criminal justice system. This service is available seven days a week in the Stephenville, Bay St. George, and Bay St. George South areas from:

• Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
• Saturday to Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m

Mobile crisis response services can be accessed by calling 911, 811 or your local police department. For a complete listing of communities with mobile crisis response teams and their hours of operation please see here.
