MCRT consist of crisis workers who partner with police officers to respond to 911 calls that have a mental health component. MCRT units provide support from the individual’s call to 911 through to on-site assessment, support, and follow-up. Some of our emergency services partners include York Region Police, South Simcoe Police, the Ontario Provincial Police, York Region Paramedics and Simcoe Paramedic Services.
“I am a woman of colour, survivor of domestic violence, refugee claimant, single mother, internationally trained professional, ambitious, empowered entrepreneur who spent more than a decade on a waiting list for affordable housing. Some of the community services I utilized included, but not limited to, the Domestic Abuse Sexual Assault Care Centre of York Region, Women’s College Hospital, Women’s Support Network, Women Centre of York Region and YSSN. I am thrilled to be such an active part of the York Region community and I have a lot to say about people’s ability to get the services they need.” – Carleen M..
