SOUNDâs Mobile Rapid Response Crisis Teams (MRRCT) provide 24/7, community-based crisis intervention without law enforcement involvement. Staffed by mental health professionals and peer specialists, the teams use de-escalation techniques, harm reduction, and trauma-informed care to support individuals in distress. By prioritizing safety, dignity, and connection to services, MRRCT helps stabilize crises while reducing hospitalizations and incarceration.
