Crisis Resolution Services (CRS)
Crisis Resolution Services are short-term services designed to assist consumers who have an immediate need for rapid stabilization and qualify for less intensive levels of services within a 60-day period.
CRS provide intensive crisis services to individuals who would otherwise be brought to the hospital. If indicated, clients in need of ongoing treatment will be linked to out-patient services.
Full Service Partnership (FSP)
FSP is an intensive out-patient program for consumers experiencing:
- institutionalization
- homelessness
- incarceration and/or
- psychiatric inpatient hospitalizations
FSP offers field and clinic based services which include:
- 24/7 assessment and crisis services
- counseling
- medication services and
- case management
Homeless Outreach and Mobile Engagement (HOME)
HOME specializes in engaging individuals that are gravely disabled (GD) or GD adjacent to ensure they are linked to the correct level of care.
Housing
The housing team in Service Area 3 is responsible for providing housing services and technical support to LACDMH’s directly operated programs and contracted clinics.
Another important component involves the tracking of time sensitive information of consumers who meet the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) qualifications. As a result, collaboration with Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA), and Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) is ongoing to ensure appropriate housing is secured and consumers can remain housed.
Furthermore, consultation about services and linkage to resources are provided to the public.

Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI)
PEI services provide support to individuals who are experiencing a recent crisis or trauma and are generally not diagnosed with serious and persistent mental illness.
Services include short-term, evidence-based crisis and early intervention approaches such as:
- crisis-oriented recovery services
- seeking safety and
- mental health integration programs
Psychiatric Mobile Response Teams (PMRT)
PMRT consists of DMH licensed clinical staff assigned to a specific Service Area in Los Angeles County. Teams have legal authority per Welfare and Institutions Code 5150 and 5585 to initiate applications for evaluation of involuntary detention of individuals determined to be at risk of harming themselves or others or who are unable to provide food, clothing, or shelter as a result of a mental disorder.
Recovery, Resilience and Reintegration (RRR)
RRR Services will include:
- medication management and support
- housing services and outreach and engagement screenings and assessments to determine the level of functioning and impairment
- individual, dyadic, family and group psychotherapy
- crisis intervention
- family education and support and
- linkage and case management
Wellness Centers provide services to consumers with severe mental illness who are in advanced stages of recovery and have likely transitioned from a higher level of service, such as the Full Service Partnership or RRR programs.
Client-Run Centers are staffed and managed by mental health consumers and family members. These centers provide:
- self-help groups
- peer support services
- educational, social and recreational activities as well as
- linkage services
