Suicide Awareness Prevention Month Spotlight: Community Care Team
September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Nevada County recognizes the critical role the Nevada County Mobile Crisis Team plays in supporting community members and their support networks during mental health crises and in preventing suicides in Nevada County.
The Mobile Crisis Team is a partnership between the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office, Nevada County Behavioral Health, and Sierra Mental Wellness Group. The initiative pairs deputies in the Sheriff’s Office with crisis clinicians to respond to calls that may be more related to mental health needs than criminal justice.
Since its launch in December 2020, the Mobile Crisis Team has responded to 664 calls from Nevada County residents and their families. Nevada County residents and families are encouraged to reach out to the Mobile Crisis Team if they or a family member are experiencing a mental health crisis.
