San Gabriel Valley Crisis Assistance Response and Engagement Program (SGV CARE) - San Gabriel Valley Crisis Assistance Response and Engagement Program (SGV CARE) is a regional mobile crisis response program that provides an alternative mobile response to 9-1-1 calls for mental or behavioral health emergencies. The goal of the program is to provide effective, timely care while reducing deployment of police. The program's crisis response teams consist of clinicians, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), substance use disorder (SUD) counselors, and peer support specialists. Each team provides a 30-minute max response time to non-violent service calls with a focus on addressing behavioral health and/or homelessness related issues. The program intends to serve 250 unduplicated individuals experiencing a mental or behavioral health crisis and people experiencing homelessness (PEH) with unmet mental health and social services needs. Services include welfare checks, triage, screening and assessments, crisis intervention and de-escalation, peer support services, and referrals to medical and behavioral health services, among others.
