Be a Part of Behavioral Health Crisis Care in NH
Become a Certified Crisis Responder and help individuals, children, youth, and families in their time of need.
New Hampshire residents have immediate, 24/7 access to behavioral health crisis support through NH Rapid Response. Following the approach of “anyone, anywhere, anytime,” NH Rapid Response provides care and support to individuals and families in crisis in settings within the community, including the comfort of their home, rather than institutional settings for as long as possible. Rapid Response teams work to foster a non-judgmental and supportive environment for individuals in crisis.
The state of New Hampshire is invested in building a robust workforce of crisis responders equipped with knowledge, skills, and tools to effectively respond to crises in their communities.
As of June 30, 2024, all new Rapid Response team members in New Hampshire will be required to complete NH Rapid Response Crisis Training. Current Rapid Response team members are welcome to participate. The first training cohort, scheduled to commence in August 2024, will be open to staff from New Hampshire's Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs). Future cohorts will be open to anyone age 18+ and eligible to work in New Hampshire; no degree or experience required.
