Mobile Crisis Outreach Team (MCOT): Our team is made up of an array of qualified and highly trained mental health professionals who are available for immediate response 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout our 8 counties by calling 1-800-841-1255. MCOT services focus on providing timely crisis assessments and development of a plan to resolve the crisis. Our team provides services where the crisis is taking place; this can be your home, school, the local emergency room, places of business, or anywhere within the community.

In Williamson County, the 16-bed Youth Therapeutic Respite Program provides a safe environment for youth in crisis, between the ages of 5-17, to receive wraparound care, including innovative therapies, care coordination, case management, psychiatric medication management, and more.  The length of stay may be as short as a few hours or as long as 30 days, depending on the needs of the youth and family. We work closely with caregivers every step of the way, pairing them with a Family Partner and involving them in care planning and therapy services. As we support the academic success of each youth enrolled in the program, our Care Coordinators collaborate with each student’s school to plan for a smooth transition upon returning home. This trauma-informed, community-based crisis intervention serves as an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization for youth and their families. The program is made possible through generous funds from Williamson County and is the only one of its kind in our area.
