24-Hour Crisis Response Team
CARE 7 is dispatched to calls through Tempe's emergency 9-1-1 system to provide 24-hour, on-scene, high quality, crisis intervention services.

Crisis response

CARE 7 provides crisis response services to those in need of mental health resources through connections to the most appropriate city and community resources. In addition, CARE 7 provides specialized services to veterans, victims of crime and youth in Tempe to support health and well-being.

Mental Health Journey Map

To make more mental health resources available in Tempe, the Community Health and Human Services Department, in collaboration with Tempe Community Council, has created a Mental Health Journey Map to assist residents with resources for all ages. Find the map here. (PDF)
