Grants awarded for MRSS 

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services in partnership with Gov. Mike DeWine’s Children’s Initiative and the Ohio Department of Medicaid has awarded eight grants totaling $1.7 million to expand mobile crisis services for children and families in 18 counties. 

This includes $250,000 for services in Coshocton, Guernsey, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble and Perry counties. 

Ohio’s Mobile Response and Stabilization Services program provides mobile, on-site and rapid intervention for youth experiencing a behavioral health crisis, allowing for immediate de-escalation of the situation in the least restrictive setting possible, prevention of the condition from worsening and the timely stabilization of the crisis.

The mobile crisis component of MRSS is designed to provide time-limited, on-demand crisis intervention services in any setting in which a behavioral health crisis is occurring, including homes, schools and emergency departments. Depending on the needs of the child, the stabilization component may include a temporary, out-of-home crisis resolution in a safe environment.
