Stabilization Services
MRSS stands for Mobile Response and Stabilization Services. Families with youth and young adults up to age 21 who are experiencing difficulties or distress can receive assistance within 60 minutes after contacting MRSS. You may also receive up to 42 days of intensive, in-home services and linkage to on-going supports.
MRSS services are for any family or youth defined crisis. YOU decide when you want help from the MRSS team. A few examples of common issues that MRSS staff can help with include:
Any family in Preble, Butler, Warren, Clinton, and Clermont Counties can access MRSS service at no cost, regardless of income or situation. Butler Behavioral Health provides services in Warren, Clinton and Butler Counties. MRSS services are provided by Child Focus Inc. in Clermont County. Families in Preble County will be served by Samaritan Health.
Any time a youth or family feels they need extra support is a good time to call MRSS. When you call MRSS, we do not define the crisis, you do. Anyone, including youth, family, neighbor, friend, probation officer, school personnel, counselor, can call MRSS and request services.
The first step is your call. You will talk with a trained staff person about what’s happening, and they will take your contact information. They are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
An MRSS staff person will reach out and arrange to meet. Within a short time, an MRSS staff person will be in touch with you by phone to make arrangements for responding to where you are. The MRSS Staff will arrive within 60 minutes or when convenient for your family.
Upon arrival, the MRSS therapist will work with you and your family to help resolve the situation that led to the call. This may include a safety assessment and de-escalation strategies using family systems interventions. The therapist will stay as long as needed until everyone feels calm.
Once the situation is calm, the therapist will offer up to 42 days of intensive support which could include home-based psychotherapy, skill building, peer support and referral to on-going community services and resources to help keep your family on the path to success.
