Mobile Response
Stabilization Services

When a crisis happens, you want someone there as soon as possible. With Alta’s Mobile Response Stabilization Services or MRSS, our team of licensed clinicians and support staff provide emotional triage to stabilize crises where and when the situations occur in as little as 60 minutes. This alternative to in-patient care is designed for youth and young adults under the age of 18 who are experiencing severe behavioral or emotional distress with both immediate care and on-going support.

Intake/Diagnostic Assessment

  • Escalating emotional or behavioral issues
  • Mental health issues
  • Addiction and substance abuse
  • Physical and emotional trauma
  • School truancy
  • Running away from home
  • Parent/child or caregiver/child conflicts
  • Grief
  • Suicidal ideation

Who is MRSS for?

MRSS is for anyone going through a behavioral situation under the age of 18, as well as everyone involved including families and school staff in Mahoning County. For families, Alta’s MRSS team can help de-escalate situations in homes, relieving the need for further involvement from law enforcement. School staff can use MRSS to de-escalate situations on site as well as receive continued support when necessary.

A Team Effort

Each team dispatched is composed of an Alta licensed clinician and peer recovery support staff to continue care when needed for behavioral and mental health. All staff are trained by The Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Center of Excellence of Case Western Reserve and certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

Continued Support

While Alta’s MRSS team responds immediately to a crisis, they also ensure the client – once stepping down from MRSS – is linked to other services that may be appropriate including:

  • Safety assessment and planning
  • De-escalation
  • Support for parents from another peer with lived experience
  • Recommendations for building coping skills and strategies
  • Connection to resources
  • Up to 6 weeks of on-going support in school and at home

If staff need assistance, call 1-888-418 MRSS (6777). Staff can expect to be contacted by Alta’s MRSS Team within an hour. This service is available daily from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Helping children, healing familes.
