UCSC Campus Mobile Crisis Team is First of its Kind on a UC Campus

The UCSC Campus Mobile Crisis Team (CMCT) is the first of its kind on a University of California campus. The CMCT provides an empathetic, non-police response to emergency calls regarding mental health crises on campus. Following a series of police killings in the U.S., including the choking of George Floyd in May, 2020, worldwide protests called for the expansion of non-police crisis teams for community safety.
