The Crisis Aid and Response Team (C.A.R.T.) is a collaboration between Helen Farabee Centers, the Wichita Falls Police Department, and the Wichita Falls Fire Department.
A three person team including an officer that ensures the scene is safe, a medical technician who performs a brief health assessment, and a qualified mental health professional who can perform a behavioral health assessment, develop a safety plan, and provide placement and/or other treatment options, responds to behavioral health-related calls through the 911 system and makes follow-up contact with people who need ongoing support after a crisis.
The goal is to provide the right care at the right time and in the
right place for a person in need rather than having to resort to arrest, needless transportation to a hospital, and long waits in an emergency room.
