CCEA has an official MOU with the local OPP.  We currently have a clinician (Integrated Response Worker) that attends on-site crisis calls with the police when deemed appropriate who will provide brief solution counselling and advocacy as part of the Mobile Crisis Rapid Response Team. 

This person may hold on to them for up to 30-days, should it be necessary. 

If further support is identified, this client will be referred to our Transitional Case Manager for ongoing support, advocacy, and forensic case management
