Youth Mental Health Crisis Team 

Children's Crisis Response  (Ramsey County)  651-266-7878

 

This service works best if you can call before the situation becomes an emergency. So- if possible- try to call when you notice that things are starting to get challenging and you need extra support. 

​

  • Help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • Crisis outreach is provided by licensed mental health professionals. They can talk to you by phone and/or meet you in-person at your home, school, or community to assess and stabilize the immediate crisis. 

  • Mental health crisis response is provided regardless of ability to pay; however insurance information is collected when available.

  • The Child Crisis Team can not physically restrain  your child or force him/her to go to the hospital. If stronger intervention is needed, the Child Crisis team can often partner with a family even if it is necessary to involve the police or hospital.

"We had to call county crisis. My child has some psychosis and some severe depression/anxiety/OCD PTSD. We hit a point where she was pretty inconsolable. I slept on her floor, she wasn’t a danger to herself but she was in crisis.  So I called them... and they came out and helped us get the action plan, we hadn’t done that in quite a while. I didn’t feel like I had the tools at home, the coping tools. I didn’t know how to help her cope right now.  In this high stress whatever.  But I was able to get the help we needed.  "  -RCCMHC parent

Crisis Planning & Emergency Checklist

If you have time, you might want to use section #6 (Mental Health) of our Family Care Organizer. You will find crisis plans, emergency and discharge checklists, a crisis communication sheet, coping strategies etc.

 

Section #2 (Contacts) and Section #4 (Medical) can also be helpful during a mental health crisis. Many families prepare their care organizer BEFORE a crisis occurs so they can bring it with them to the hospital or share with their care team. It's a great way to keep all your information all in one place.
