How the New Hampshire Rapid Response Works
With one phone call, text, or chat (online) individuals can receive the care and services they need during a mental health or substance use disorder crisis using the New Hampshire Rapid Response Access Point (NHRRAP).
It’s free and confidential.
Over the phone support and problem solving to help resolve a behavioral health crisis.
Over the phone support with referrals to outpatient services, or to have a Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) come to you at a place of your choice.
In-person Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) if the crisis cannot be resolved over the phone.
The NHRRAP is prepared to respond immediately and is staffed with specialty trained crisis operators, licensed clinians and peers who really listen to what individuals are going through. If needed, a mobile crisis team (MCT) from a community mental health center (CMHC) can come meet you right where you are or a crisis center may be able to suppor you or a same-day/next-day appointment can be made at a CMHC.
The NHRRAP is designed to match you to the best service as close to home as possible. If you or someone you care about needs immediate help to address a mental health or substance use crisis don’t wait.
