Mobile Crisis & Stabilization Services (MRSS)

Seneca Washington in partnership with Health Care Authority and Carelon Behavioral Health, provides MRSS to youth under 18 in Pierce County. Our MRSS teams can be read about below.

MRT (Mobile Response Team) - Pierce County

The Mobile Response Team (MRT) is a team of Crisis Response Staff who provide community-based support to youth and their families. The service is intended to offer families and providers an alternative to calling 911 or use of hospitalization when the presenting concern may not warrant use of these restrictive interventions. The goal of MRT is to provide proactive, early intervention before crises escalate, to divert youth from more restrictive interventions, and reduce criminalization of mental health for children. MRT Crisis Staff provide these same-day urgent crisis intervention services in homes, schools, and community locations within Pierce County. Crisis Response Staff conduct a risk assessment and work with youth and caregivers to develop a safety plan. Crisis Response Staff collaborate with any existing treatment team members and/or can provide linkage and advocacy to support youth in connecting to other mental health services.

For more information on the Seneca Washington MRT program please reach out to [email protected].

START (Short-Term Assessment of Resources and Treatment) - Pierce County

The START program provides up to 8 weeks of crisis stabilization support for youth and their families following a crisis response. This innovative new program follows the MRSS model of service and works to truly meet youth and families where they are and allows youth and family voice in defining what a crisis is for them. Each youth and family enrolled in this program works with a START clinician as well as a START peer support specialist to best meet the comprehensive needs of each family. Services are provided within homes, schools, hospital settings and community settings as well. The goal of the START program is to help youth and families achieve greater stability, resource connection, and service linkage within 8 weeks of service. This service is available to all youth under 18 years of age in Pierce County following a crisis response.
