The Crisis Outreach and Support Team (COAST) program serves the residents of Hamilton-Wentworth who have serious mental health issues and are in crisis. COAST is a multidisciplinary team consisting of child and youth crisis workers, mental health workers, nurses, social workers and plain-clothes police officers.
 
We offer a mobile crisis outreach service provided 24 hours a day, 7 days/week by a mental health worker and dedicated police officer from Hamilton Regional Police Service. COAST serves children, adolescents and adults and has established service agreements with a number of agencies, which provide community mental health services.
