Mobile Response & Stabilization Services (MRSS)

New Jersey Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) are community-based crisis intervention programs designed to provide immediate, short-term support and stabilization for individuals who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The goal of MRSS is to prevent hospitalization, reduce the risk of harm to self or others, and provide individuals with the support they need to recover from a crisis and return to their daily routine as soon as possible.
 
MRSS services are provided by teams of mental health professionals and support staff who are trained to respond to behavioral health emergencies in a timely and effective manner. The teams are equipped with the resources and knowledge needed to provide crisis intervention, assessment, and treatment on-site in a person's home or community.
 
The types of services provided by MRSS can include crisis counseling, medication management, family support, and referrals to appropriate services and resources. MRSS teams also work closely with other community-based organizations, healthcare providers, and government agencies to ensure that clients receive the comprehensive care and support they need.
