CARES

Community Alternative Response Emergency Servies (CARES)

An alternative emergency response to mental health crises and behavioral emergencies, CARES is a two-person response team comprised of Saint Paul Fire Department Emergency Medical Technicians.

Our CARES Team responds to non-violent mental health crises and behavioral emergencies within Saint Paul. Teams interact with some of our most vulnerable residents who are unsheltered, sheltered, and at local service providers, following up with them after a crisis in an effort to connect them with the services they may need.
