Crisis Response Services in Mecklenburg County
Compassionate services for Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere
Behavioral and mental health challenges can escalate quickly, and in those moments, knowing where to turn can make all the difference. At Sante in Mecklenburg County, our Mobile Crisis Team provides experienced, compassionate intervention to help individuals and families stay safe and supported, right where they are.
Our services are designed as a hospital and jail diversion program, keeping people out of institutional settings whenever possible. We partner closely with community agencies to offer responsive, person-centered care that focuses on long-term health and recovery—not just the immediate crisis.
What We Do
Our Mobile Crisis Team (MCT) is available 24/7/365 to respond to a wide range of crises, including:
- Mental health emergencies
- Substance use crises
- Situational and emotional distress
- Critical incident stress and trauma debriefing
Our team includes licensed clinicians, clinical social workers, and professional counselors extensively trained in de-escalation and crisis intervention. When dispatched, we assess the situation, create a personalized crisis plan, and connect individuals to community resources to stabilize and recover.
Santé’s Outpatient Clinic is dedicated to serving children, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with a behavioral or mental health challenge. Our therapists take a person-centered approach to uncover the unique strengths and needs of every individual to ensure they receive the best treatment and recovery plan possible.
Staff at our Mecklenburg County site will provide an initial evaluation to assess the immediate needs of the individual or family, then work closely to connect for individual counseling and group therapy.

Cornelius Police Department Co Responder
Santé is proud to partner with the Cornelius Police Department through our Co-Responder Program. This partnership embeds a mental health clinician directly within the police department to respond alongside officers to calls involving mental health concerns, substance use, emotional distress, and other behavioral health needs.
By pairing clinical expertise with law enforcement response, the program enhances on-scene assessment, supports de-escalation, and connects individuals to appropriate community-based services whenever possible. The goal is to improve outcomes, reduce unnecessary emergency department visits or arrests, and provide compassionate, person-centered care in moments of crisis.
In addition to responding to active calls, the clinician provides follow-up support, short-term case management, and resource coordination to help individuals stabilize and reduce repeat 911 utilization.
Together, Santé and the Cornelius Police Department are committed to strengthening community safety while prioritizing mental health support and access to care.
