What is a mobile crisis?

A Mobile Crisis team is a group of mental health professionals who respond to individuals experiencing a mental health or behavioral crisis in the community. They provide immediate assessment, intervention, and support, often outside of traditional clinical settings, such as at a person's home, school, or other community locations. Mobile Crisis teams aim to de-escalate situations, offer counseling, and connect individuals to ongoing care, helping to reduce unnecessary hospitalizations or law enforcement involvement.

What are the typical challenges faced by professionals in mobile crisis roles, and how do teams support each other in high-pressure situations?

Professionals in Mobile Crisis roles often encounter high-stress situations, including responding to individuals in acute mental health crises and making rapid safety assessments. These challenges require strong emotional resilience, quick decision-making, and effective communication. Teams typically support each other through regular debriefings, supervision, and access to mental health resources to manage the emotional toll of the work. Collaboration with law enforcement, healthcare providers, and community organizations is also common, creating a supportive network to ensure both client and staff well-being.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a mobile crisis counselor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Mobile Crisis Counselor, you need a background in mental health, crisis intervention, and assessment, often supported by a degree in psychology, social work, or counseling and relevant state licensure. Familiarity with crisis intervention models, case management systems, and mobile communication tools is crucial. Outstanding soft skills include active listening, emotional resilience, and the ability to remain calm and empathetic under pressure. These skills are essential to ensure swift, effective support to individuals in crisis and to deliver safe, compassionate care in unpredictable environments.

About the Mobile Crisis Response Services Program
ReDiscover's Mobile Crisis Response Services work in close partnership with local law enforcement and CommCARE to deliver real-time, on-site crisis intervention. Our mission is to support individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis-whether they've had police contact or reached out through national or local crisis lines-by meeting them where they are, both physically and emotionally. As a Mobile Crisis Responder, you'll help reduce unnecessary emergency room visits and incarceration by connecting people to the right resources at the right time.
What You'll Do

  • Conduct comprehensive assessments that include suicide risk evaluations, crisis intervention, and recommendations for the appropriate level of care.
  • Provide follow-up support through service linkage, ongoing monitoring, and crisis management to ensure continuity of care.
  • Offer consultation and information to internal teams and referral sources to facilitate access to services.
  • Collaborate with ReDiscover teams and community partners to develop intervention plans that address and advocate for the individual's needs.
  • Work closely with other providers to implement and review crisis intervention strategies.
  • Accurately document client interactions and maintain records in ReDiscover's electronic medical record system.

Requirements of the Position
  • At minimum, a bachelor's degree in a Social Science Field from an accredited college or university is required. Master's Degree Preferred.
  • Valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and a reliable vehicle available for use during work hours is required.
  • Must have a clean driving record.
  • Familiarity with mental illness and substance use disorders.
  • Strong communication and customer service skills.
  • Comfort with electronic health records and intermediate computer proficiency (Microsoft Office and email).

Schedule Requirements
  • Full-time position, consisting of three (3) 12-hour shifts each week, plus one (1) 8-hour shift every other week.
  • Schedule: Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday from 2:00 PM - 2:30 AM, plus every other Saturday evening 8-hour shift (flexible start and end times).
  • Mobile Crisis operates seven (7) days per week; candidates must be available to work rotating weekends and holidays as needed.
