Deadline Extended: National Survey of Mobile Crisis Programs

The New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI) has announced the launch of a National Survey of Mobile Crisis programs, and the deadline has been extended through the month of February, now closing February 28st. Ohio is one of 5 partner states for this project, and they are aiming for 100% response rate from Ohio’s programs to expand their understanding of the various types of mobile crisis programs operating throughout the state. To date, only 21 programs have responded from Ohio.

With strong participation from Ohio, the state will be eligible to receive a dedicated report highlighting Ohio’s crisis services and statewide insights. Individual participants will be entered to win a $50 gift card. The survey takes approximately one-hour to complete.

The survey is hoping to collect data related to service types/areas; partnerships; program/team structure, training, technology, financing, and data collection.

Who should respond? The survey is seeking to target a wide range of programs, including behavioral health provider-mobile crisis programs, mobile response and stabilization services (MRSS), law enforcement-based co-responder programs, and alternative or community responder programs. Specifically, individuals in leadership positions (Executive Director/CEO, Program Directors/Managers, Clinical Supervisors, or other supervisory staff) would be best suited to submit responses on behalf of their organization.
