The Mobile Crisis Response (MCR) and Mobile Response and Stabilization Service (MRSS) Practice Standards are established by the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) and serve as the basis for implementation, process improvement, and expansion of MCR/MRSS to advance behavioral health services for Kansans across the lifespan.

Mobile crisis response services offer rapid in-person team, community-based engagement, trauma-informed and empathetic care, support, and intervention to adults, children, youth, and families who are experiencing emotional symptoms, behaviors, trauma reactions and concerns that compromise or impact their ability to function wherever they are physically located at the time of crisis, including at home, work, school, or other community locations. Services are available and accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
