When Should You Ask for an MCOT?
MCOT is there for you when you are feeling lost, alone, having a difficult time coping with life, or have concerns related to a loved one living with you. Our team will meet you where you’re at—whether that’s at home, at work, or anywhere in the community.
The team arrives in unmarked vehicles to support your privacy. We do our best to keep those that we serve out of the hospitals and in their communities.
