What Is the Crisis Care & Intervention Team (CCIT)?
When someone you love is in crisis, help should come to you. Courageous Healing's Mobile Crisis Response Team brings trained professionals directly to you — at home, school, work, or wherever you are — so you get the right help at the right time.
Courageous Healing has launched a Mobile Crisis Response Team serving all of Allen County, made possible by a startup grant from Indiana's Mobile Crisis Accelerator Program (MCAP) through the Department of Mental Health & Addictions.
The Crisis Care & Intervention Team (CCIT) provides culturally centered, trauma-informed behavioral health crisis intervention, stabilization, care coordination, and recovery support for individuals experiencing mental health and substance use crises.
Who We Serve
We serve everyone in Allen County. We also know some communities have historically faced more barriers to care, therefore, our team is intentionally built to reflect and understand Fort Wayne's diversity — including:
Communities of Color
LGBTQ+ Residents
Those who've felt let down by traditional systems before
Our team reflects your community. We provide care that is culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and free of judgment.

Why This Matters
Allen County has a high demand for behavioral health services, compounded by limited access in under-resourced communities.
Challenges our community faces:
Rising overdoses & limited psychiatric access
Few providers who reflect BIPOC clients' experiences
Services underused due to stigma & inaccessibility
Over-reliance on ER & law enforcement for mental health crises
Our Commitment
We are building trusted access points for crisis care in neighborhoods that have long been overlooked. Our model is responsive, relational, and rooted in community trust.
