Youth mobile response is a 24/7, police-free crisis intervention service designed to support young people and families in emotional or behavioral crises. Unlike the traditional “mobile crisis” model—which focuses mainly on youth with diagnosed psychiatric conditions—CLASP’s “mobile response” approach emphasizes youth-defined crises and support before, during, and after the critical moment. It is part of a broader crisis care continuum that includes crisis hotlines, stabilization centers, peer services, and short-term crisis residential options.
