Children and Adolescent Mobile Psychiatric Service (ChAMPS)

Organization: DC Department of Behavioral Health (DBH)

The Children and Adolescent Mobile Psychiatric Service (ChAMPS) provides on-site immediate help to children facing a behavioral or mental health crisis whether in the home, school or community. Services are geared toward children and youth 6-21 years of age. The goal is to stabilize them and avert inpatient hospitalization or placement disruptions in the case of foster children. The mobile crisis teams also make follow up visits and connect the family to needed support services.

The on-call, mobile emergency service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling (202) 481-1440.
