    Mobile crisis response services are being expanded to help people in the Bay St. George area in partnership with the RCMP. These teams include mental health and addictions clinicians and trained police officers who respond together to crises in the community. The purpose is to deliver crisis intervention services directly to people in the community, eliminating the need to visit emergency departments and involve the criminal justice system. This service is available seven days a week in the Stephenville, Bay St. George, and Bay St. George South areas, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Saturday to Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
