- Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS)
This crisis intervention service is a single, integrated, comprehensive system of
mobile response, stabilization intervention and transition to community supports.  This
system is available to children and youth whose escalating emotional or behavioral issues
require timely interventions to prevent disruptions to their current living arrangement,
including out-of-home placement.  Primarily, the mobile response system is a face-to-face
delivery of service at the site of the escalating behavior, whether this is in the child's home,
a group home, or other living arrangement, including resource and foster family homes. 
Mobile Response Services are focused, time limited, intensive, preventive and include
behavioral and rehabilitative interventions designed to specifically diffuse, mitigate and
resolve a crisis.
