As a member of the Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT), the Mental Health Professional (MHP) accompanies Philadelphia Regional Operations Command (ROC) South Police in responding to police dispatches related to mental health crises. After the police have secured the scene, the MHP works with individuals and their community supports to assess and de-escalate a crisis, determine the level of care necessary to meet the individual's needs, develop alternatives to involuntary hospitalization through conducting assessments, treatment planning, counseling, and coordination of community care linkages and discharge process. The MHP coordinates the involuntary hospitalization process in situations where individuals present as dangerous to themselves or others. The MHP acts as an advocate and represents the needs and rights of persons served with outside social service agencies, and families.
