Help Keep Our Crisis Team Local!!! 

Carver County (MN) is considering contracting its Crisis Team services to an external, non-local agency. This decision could significantly impact the quality and accessibility of care our community depends on during times of crisis.

At a time when the need for mental health services is growing, it’s crucial to ensure that help is both accessible and tailored to our community's unique needs. Our local Crisis Team provides compassionate, immediate support without any cost to the individual in need. In contrast, the proposed external agency may introduce fees based on insurance coverage, sliding fee scales, or payment plans. This could create financial barriers for individuals already facing urgent and stressful situations, leaving some without the help they need when they need it most.

The local team has built trust with residents, professionals, and organizations, delivering care rooted in a deep understanding of our community. Losing this connection risks diluting the specialized support that only a local provider can offer.

We need your voice! Whether you’re a professional, community member, or someone who has benefited from these services, please sign our petition to urge Carver County to keep our Crisis Team local. Let’s ensure that crisis care remains accessible, free of financial burdens, and responsive to the increasing mental health needs in our community.

Sign the petition today and share with your friends and family!  Help us continue to be there to help WHEN you need it the most!
