This three-session learning collaborative supports participants in strengthening coordination across partners involved in the crisis continuum of care to improve implementation and service delivery. Participants will examine how roles, communication pathways, and referral processes influence crisis response across agencies such as mobile crisis teams, behavioral health providers, emergency response partners, and community organizations. Through facilitated discussion and structured reflection, participants will identify collaboration challenges within their local crisis systems and explore practical strategies to improve alignment across partners. Peer learning will support participants in identifying realistic next steps to strengthen crisis system implementation within their local context.
