About the Mobile Response and Stabilization Services Program

Charities’ Mobile Response program, based in Jersey City, New Jersey, provides families with counseling, guidance, and referral services to address juvenile crises and to help in stabilizing and preserving the family unit. The program addresses juvenile behavioral problems, such as truancy, chronic runaways, family disputes, and curfew violations. Mobile Response services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, to help children and youth who are experiencing emotional or behavioral crises. The services are designed to defuse an immediate crisis, keep children and their families safe, and maintain the children in their own homes or current living situation (such as a foster home, treatment home or group home). Mobile response/crisis intervention workers respond to calls received by the program through a centralized screening entity that determines the need for services. Workers must respond to calls within one hour by traveling to wherever the crisis occurs, such as in the child’s/family’s home, in school, or other community locations. The Mobile Response program utilizes agency-owned cars that workers use to drive to the site of the crisis.
