South Carolina Department of Mental Health- Mobile Crisis Response

The South Carolina Department of Mental Health has implemented a statewide mobile crisis program to enhance South Carolina’s crisis service array to include a statewide community crisis, on-site emergency psychiatric screening and assessment.

The goal of the program is to provide access and link patients to appropriate levels of care, avoid unnecessary hospitalization and incarceration, and to build partnerships with local law enforcement, hospitals, judges, and local mental health providers.

These mobile crisis services are available 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Services are typically provided within 60-minutes of contact with the CCRI team to meet the mental health needs of SC residents.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, contact DMH's statewide Mobile Crisis Team, toll-free, 24/7.

The South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SC DMH) and the South Carolina
Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services (DAODAS) partnered with the
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to provide the Interactive Screening
Program - a safe and easy service that allows individuals to anonymously take a Self-Check
Questionnaire and connect with a professional counselor in the State of South Carolina who
can provide guidance, support, and resources for mental health and addiction services. This service is available to all residents of South Carolina 18 years of age or older.
