How Mobile Crisis Response Works

Upon receiving a call from a person experiencing a mental health crisis in Chicago, Thresholds clinicians will work with callers to assess their situation via telephone and determine the appropriate response. This may include dispatching a Crisis Team to the caller’s location to assist. Crisis Teams are made up of two Thresholds staff, one of whom is a peer support specialist with lived experience of a mental health condition.

Like a physical health crisis, a mental health crisis can be devastating for individuals, families, and communities. Thresholds is committed to services and supports to best meet the needs of individuals experiencing a mental health crisis.

Too often people experiencing a mental health crisis are met with delay, detainment and even denial of service in a manner that creates undue burden on the person, families, law enforcement, emergency departments and justice systems.


Our peer staff understands what it is like to live with serious mental health or substance use conditions. We also know that recovery is possible.
Thresholds is here and ready to help you on your recovery journey, whenever you need us.
