Sean Cullen, LPC, has over 17 years of experience working in emergency community settings as a Mobile Crisis Screener in New Jersey. Sean is also a Medpsych Clinician at one New Jersey's best hospital systems.

If you are concerned about yourself, a family member, or a friend who is experiencing a psychiatric crisis, you can request a Mobile Crisis team to provide mental health intervention and support in the home to help overcome resistance to treatment. Mobile crisis teams can provide mental health engagement, intervention and follow-up support to help overcome resistance to treatment. If a mobile crisis team determines that a person in crisis needs further psychiatric or medical assessment, they can transport that person to a hospital psychiatric emergency room. Mobile crisis teams may direct police to take a person to an emergency room against their will only if they have a mental illness (or the appearance of mental illness) and are a danger to themselves or others.
