About

The North Carolina Coalition on Crisis and Alternative Response (NCCCAR) was founded in November of 2024 with the goal of bringing together crisis mental/behavioral health specialists to network, innovate, and build a well-connected crisis continuum across the state.

The Coalition set out to host its first NC Crisis Summit in September of 2025 in Greensboro. Keeping hopes high and expectations moderated, the founding members initiated a grassroots effort to build the inaugural event. Later that year, 165 professionals attended the Inaugural NC Crisis Summit! They represented 63 organizations from 19 NC counties, and 4 other states.

In 2026, NCCCAR formed its first official Board of Directors, expanding the governing body from the founding four members to nine. Current board members represent sectors including crisis management and response, enhanced services, law enforcement, municipal and county government, and community safety.

Join us in September 2026 for the 2nd Annual NC Crisis Summit!
