Maricopa County, Coconino County, Mohave County

For those experiencing a crisis, Terros Health and its team of frontline heroes meet individuals where they are — whether at home, school or in the community. Together, with the 9-8-8 crisis line, Arizona and Maricopa County’s mobile crisis system has been identified as the gold standard nationwide.

Among the areas of focus: strengthening partnerships with law enforcement, first responders and municipalities; developing a cutting-edge clinical model that guides response in the field; and creating a state-of-the-art disaster response program in the event of shootings, fires, school incidents and other critical events.

Terros Health invests in extensive evidence-based training that enables mobile responders to intervene in crisis situations and stabilize patients so they can stay in the community and prevent the next crisis from happening. Mobile crisis responders are also certified as psychological first-aid responders, which enables them to support the community when disasters strike.

As the national conversation has moved toward investing in municipalities and alternative policing models, Terros Health’s team has been tapped to share their expertise and currently have three alternative 9-1-1 response teams in Flagstaff, Kingman and Phoenix.
