When a child or teen is facing a mental health crisis, families shouldn’t have to navigate it alone. Applewood is here to help.

Applewood Centers provides Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) in both Lorain and Medina Counties. MRSS is a free, short-term, intensive program for children and young adults ages 2 to 20. If a family identifies a crisis, our team responds.

Licensed clinicians, trained mental health professionals, and peer support providers come to your home, school, or another safe location to provide safety assessments, de-escalation, skill building, and connection to ongoing resources. Up to six weeks of stabilization services are available to help keep children safely at home and families supported.

MRSS can assist with emotional or behavioral concerns, mental health or substance use challenges, trauma, school truancy, running away, caregiver-child conflict, and suicidal thoughts.

📞 Call MRSS anytime: (440) 600-1900
📞 For immediate mental health emergencies, call or text 988
