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

The team offers psychosocial support, education, and consultation 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. 

The team responds to all areas of the province experiencing direct impacts related to the provincial overdose public health emergency.
