Why This Matters
People experiencing mental health or substance use crises often need support from multiple organizations at once. The Collaborative works to improve coordination, reduce barriers to care, and strengthen crisis response systems across the region.
Mission
The Collaborative works to support a more connected and accessible behavioral health system so people can find help, treatment, crisis support, and recovery resources when they need them.
Vision for Crisis Response
The Collaborative is working toward a coordinated crisis response system that connects:
- 988 crisis services
- 911 emergency response
- Mobile crisis teams
- Crisis stabilization services
- Behavioral health providers
The goal is to help people receive timely, compassionate care and reduce barriers to behavioral health support in Flathead County.
