Philadelphia Crisis Response Centers

Philadelphia has 4 Crisis Response Centers (CRCs) located throughout the city. These are all accessible 24/7. The best way to receive mental health crisis services is to go to one of these CRCs. To access the CRC, enter through the ER and request the CRC. Once there, they will assess you/the person in crisis and determine the best course of treatment, including admittance to the hospital if needed.

Philadelphia Crisis Line (Formerly Mental Health Delegates)

A mental health crisis line operated by the County. This line can also send out Mobile Assessment Teams (MATs). These MATs will come to the caller’s location and assess the person who is in crisis. The MATs do not provide treatment on-site.

If the MAT determines that the person needs treatment, they will transport them to the nearest CRC. If the person will not willingly go to the CRC, the police will be called to perform a “302,” or involuntary commitment
