The Campus Mobile Crisis Response (CMCR) team provides culturally responsive trauma-informed care to students, faculty, and staff experiencing mental health crises. CMCR is an interdisciplinary team whose mission is to provide comprehensive crisis intervention, assessment, and evaluation, with the goal of reducing the need for police and emergency medical services when possible. In collaboration with campus partners, CMCR will provide non-emergent crisis care, and urgent postvention services and connect students, faculty, and staff to resources that will enhance their success and well-being at UC Berkeley.

Campus Mobile Crisis Response is one of many urgent support services for students.
