La Crosse County Human Services

The Mobile Crisis Program provides crisis mental health services to consumers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A Mobile Crisis Responder can be accessed through Clinical Services during business hours (785-6101) or by calling 784-HELP after hours and weekends. Some of these services include telephone counseling, mobile crisis intervention, follow up counseling with linkage to resources, crisis stabilization at various locations and hospitalization. The program also provides on call services for the Community Support Program (CSP) and Care Management Organization (CMO) consumers. This change has reduced a duplication of services provided by various sections of the department.

Follow up counseling and linkage to resources is provided in a consistent and timely manner, which reduces the likelihood of future crisis situations. A continuum of stabilization options are developed for both adults and children to provide support and services in the community whenever possible.
