County Launches New Behavioral Health Team
The Nevada County Sheriff’s Office is excited to announce the creation of our community’s first Mobile Crisis Team. This team will assist those in need of enhanced services through a collaborative effort with Nevada County Behavioral Health.
The Mobile Crisis Team, staffed by one deputy sheriff and one therapist, will be partnered and respond to calls related to mental health, substance abuse, or homelessness to de-escalate critical incidents and ultimately reduce rates of arrest and incarceration. This team will coordinate referrals to services as appropriate, including the Crisis Stabilization Unit at the hospital, HOME Team, and Nevada County Behavioral Health. Read More
