Baltimore Crisis Response, Inc. (BCRI) is the city's first and only comprehensive crisis center. Since 1992 we have helped many individuals overcome mental health and substance use disorders, regardless of ability to pay. With a MISSION to provide timely and effective community-based services in the least restrictive environment, we work in partnership with other city providers to create new and innovative ways to serve this vulnerable population.
It is our VISION to become Maryland’s premier comprehensive behavior health crisis response system of care, committed to individualized treatment that serves the needs of our community while fostering recovery, inspiring hope and compassion for all.

Recovery: We will seek to improve our client’s overall health status by actively pursuing treatment in the most therapeutic, least restrictive and most appropriate setting.
Connection: We will make available easy access to the crisis system with a clearly defined point of entry and 24-hour availability, closing treatment gaps and facilitating access to critical services including post-discharge support.
Community: Whenever possible, we will provide clients with supports to get them through their crisis without the removal from familiar surroundings.
Integrity: We will always try to do the right thing, interacting with both clients and staff to promote a culture of openness, honesty and accountability
