Abstract

Approximately one-fifth of the people in Canada live with mental illness. Calls to emergency services for crisis intervention are frequent. Co-responding nurse and police crisis intervention teams provide a way for health care and law enforcement to work together to improve patient outcomes. Crisis intervention team models were examined using an integrative review which identified the characteristics and barriers to their success.
