Mental Health
Your mental health is as important as your physical health.
The Ottawa Police Mental Health Crisis Unit (MHU) and its partners from The Ottawa Hospital's Mobile Crisis Team (MCT) collaborate daily to support members of our community that are in crisis or require urgent connection to mental health support and resources.
The mental health professionals of the Mobile Crisis Team and the specially trained officers of the Mental Health Crisis Unit routinely conduct visits in the community together to assist those in crisis.
This successful partnership allows community members to access mental health support during a time of great need.
If you or someone you know is in a life-threatening crisis or emergency, please call 9-1-1.
For non-urgent questions, email mentalhealth@ottawapolice.ca.
