Southeast Community Health Systems has launched its Youth Mobile Crisis Program to provide immediate, 24/7 support for Louisiana youth experiencing mental health crises. The program features two key components: Mobile Crisis Response (MCR), where trained professionals are dispatched to assist on-site, and Community Brief Crisis Support (CBCS), offering short-term stabilization and connections to ongoing care. Services are free, confidential, and available across multiple parishes, including East Baton Rouge and Livingston. This initiative aims to reduce hospitalizations by delivering compassionate, community-based interventions that empower families and promote long-term well-being. ■ shchc.org
