CATT - Crisis Assessment & Treatment Team
CATT provides immediate help during a mental health crisis. You should call 000 if you are worried about yourself or someone else.
A CATT responds to urgent requests to help people in mental health crisis 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A mental health crisis can include:
It might be the flare-up of an existing condition like schizophrenia or someone's first experience of mental illness. There might be an obvious cause for the crisis, or there might not be.
Whether at home or elsewhere, the CATT assesses the person's current mental state, their psychiatric history, what social support they have and more. They will work with the person involved and their family and/or carer to determine the best way to help.
One option is to provide intensive treatment, care and support at home, and this is what they hope to do. But there are times when treatment in hospital is needed. If so, they will help the person get to hospital by arranging referrals and transport.
CATTs also work with other services such as police, ambulance, alcohol and drug services, child protection and community services where necessary.
