Crisis team expanding

The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors last month voted to expand the county's Mobile Crisis Response Team services for young people ages 16-24.

The program, which started in 2018, unites specialized clinicians with law enforcement to respond to people who may be having a mental health crisis.

Supervisors approved a $2 million agreement to support the expansion of mobile crisis services through 2025. Funding will be allocated to the county's Behavioral Health Services Department from a state grant.

A pre-existing contract with Pacific Clinics (formerly Uplift Family Services), the current provider of the county's mobile response services for teens through age 17, will be expanded to include the provision of services to youth up to age 21.

In February the county added four mental health specialists to the team to cover Supervisor Joe Simitian's District 5, which includes Cupertino.
