The holiday season is often described as a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness. However, for many it can be a time of heightened stress, loneliness, grief, or emotional turmoil. As expectations rise and routines shift, individuals may find themselves navigating difficult feelings without knowing where to turn. During this time of the year, the Mobile Response Team plays a crucial role in ensuring that no one faces these challenges alone.

The Mobile Response Team offers support 24/7, meeting people wherever they are in Northwest Louisiana.

If you or someone you love (21 years of age or older) is experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis that you cannot resolve, we can send a team to provide support. Our services are entirely voluntary.

Our team is made up of Recognized Peer Support Specialists--trained staff who have lived experience managing mental health and substance use issues. They understand what you are going through.

Our Peer Support Specialists are supported by Licensed Mental Health Professionals. Together, they assess your situation and determine the best steps for you to take to effectively meet your needs. Our team will connect individuals in crisis, to the appropriate level of care, warm shelters, supportive services, and community resources.

As a fourth arm of the emergency responder system, CADA's Mobile Response Team aims to reduce law enforcement involvement and limit emergency room visits by utilizing specially trained mental health professionals who can de-escalate crisis and provide targeted recommendations, leading to better outcomes.

This is a reminder that support is always available, compassion is only a call away, and no one has to navigate the hard moments on their own.

We serve Northwest Louisiana Parishes: Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Claiborne, DeSoto, Natchitoches, Red River, Sabine, and Webster.
