Mobile Crisis Teams Save Lives, Face Funding Hurdles
Mobile crisis teams, consisting of therapists and specialists, are revolutionizing mental health emergency response across the US. These teams, which started in Oregon in the late 1980s, have grown to at least 1800 nationwide. In Montana, programs like Bozemans reduce police time by nearly 80% and keep people out of emergency rooms or jail. However, funding remains a significant challenge, with no steady source like police budgets. Medicaid covers field time in two-thirds of states, but not planning or downtime. Teams patchwork grants and insurance reimbursements, often facing shutdowns due to private insurers skipping payment. Montana plans to launch federally funded clinics this year, but rural areas worry about the risks of shaky funding.
