- Crisis Call Diversion embeds licensed clinicians into Durham's 911 call center to triage, assess, and respond remotely to behavioral health related calls that can be resolved over the phone. It also supports in-person response and provides follow-up check-ins when appropriate for people who previously encountered emergency services. Its primary goal is to provide individuals with quality remote care and/or connect individuals to in-person care.
- The Community Response Team program sends three-person teams-consisting of a Crisis Response Clinician, a Peer Support Specialist, and EMT-to 911 calls for service involving behavioral health and quality of life concerns. CRT responds in-person without law enforcement and has a strong track record of safety (responders report feeling safe on over 99 percent of calls). Crisis Response Clinicians are responsible for behavioral health assessment, crisis intervention, and de-escalation in collaboration with their teammates. Crisis Response Clinicians act as team leads.
- Co-Response dispatches a Crisis Response Clinician with a Crisis Intervention Trained (CIT) police officer to the highest risk calls involving behavioral and mental health, substance use, and conflict mediation needs. The Crisis Response Clinician is responsible for behavioral health assessments, therapeutic interventions, and de-escalation in collaboration with the CIT officer.
- The Care Navigation program assigns two-person teams-consisting of a Crisis Response Clinician and a Peer Support Specialist-to follow-up with residents within 48 hours of initial encounter with one of the crisis response teams mentioned above. Care Navigators' primary goal is to connect residents to the care they want and need within 30 days of initial encounter.

- Provide "second response" follow-up to individuals who experienced crises, and others potentially affected by that crisis, to assess if and how further support might be extended.
- Assure that connections are made to services and supports based on individual choice and clinical assessment. Facilitate warm handoffs to other services as needed, which could involve directly transporting the individual in assigned work vehicle.
