Baker Act Resources for Individuals & Families

The crisis care continuum consists of someone to talk to, someone to respond, and somewhere to go.

What are 911 & 211?

911: Dispatching Emergency Medical Services, fire and police

211: Information and referrals regarding health and social services resources

Someone to Respond: Mobile Response Teams

Mobile Response Teams (MRTs) are available throughout Florida and can be reached by dialing 2-1-1. MRTs target youth and people under 25, and are trained to help respond during a behavioral health crisis. MRTs provide an array of crisis intervention services including screening, assessment, and linkage to community-based providers, safety or crisis plan development, and connection to appropriate levels of care. The specific team for your area can be found by visiting: https://www.myflfamilies.com/service-programs/samh/docs/maps/MRT.pdf
