Crisis Teams

Mental Health Crisis Teams (including Home Based Treatment Team) -  York & Selby Crisis Resolution and Intensive Home Treatment Service (CRHT) provide specialist triage and assessment for people aged 16 years and older who need urgent mental health care. In some areas, where people have been supported by child and adolescent mental health crisis services, support will be provided from the age of 18 years.

In addition, they help support people who may be an inpatient in hospital. They’ll help support you (and involved family/carers) to return home as soon as possible, as longer stays in hospital can make it harder to return to everyday life at home. CRHT also provide follow up for those who’ve been discharged from hospital (in the absence of a care coordinator).
