Mobile response team

The Provincial Overdose Mobile Response Team (MRT) was created with support from the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions in recognition of the psychosocial impact of the overdose public health emergency on first responders, frontline workers and people with lived/living experience and their peers.

The team offers psychosocial support, education, and training to organizations and agencies working within British Columbia’s overdose public health emergency. This includes people impacted by critical incidents such as overdoses and/or overdose deaths during their work.

Support

MRT provides immediate, short-term psychosocial support to:

Build skills and capacity
Promote individual and agency resiliency
Create space to deal with grief and loss
Offer supportive strategies for living with and responding to trauma
