Strengthening North Carolina’s Crisis System
North Carolina is working to strengthen the mental health crisis system so people experiencing a crisis can get the right care, in the right place, at the right time. The NC Crisis System of Care Advisory Committee brings together people with lived experience, providers, state and community partners, and other leaders to help identify challenges, guide improvements and support a more coordinated, person-centered crisis system statewide.
