A group of Henderson licensed mental health professionals has become the first dedicated response team in Nevada that can be dispatched through the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline as part of a pilot program. The team, made up of licensed clinicians and licensed social workers, launched in 2025 and works with the city’s police and fire departments to be dispatched automatically after a behavioral health-related 911 call. Lisa Kelso, a licensed clinical supervisor for the city's Crisis Response Team, said that the goal is to begin dispatching the Crisis Response Teams later this year. The expansion of the program aims to make support immediately available during mental health or substance use emergencies.
