Empowering people to lead safe and healthy lives through innovative social services.
CBEM specializes in supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through 24/7, community-based crisis intervention across California. We work alongside individuals, families, caregivers, Regional Centers, and providers to identify immediate needs, promote safety, coordinate care, and support ongoing stability. This person-centered, trauma-informed approach provides a strong foundation for responsive mental and behavioral health services that can be adapted to the needs of different populations, partners, and communities.
Leaders in Crisis Prevention, Stabilization & Behavioral Support
For more than 17 years, CBEM has partnered with California Regional Centers to deliver high-quality, person-centered crisis intervention and prevention services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our experience has demonstrated that proactive, evidence-based support can reduce hospitalizations, improve stability, and enhance overall quality of life.
CBEM was founded on a simple but powerful mission: Empowering people to lead safe and healthy lives through innovative social services.

CBEM provides 24/7 crisis intervention for individuals with IDD in California and scalable behavioral and mental health services for diverse communities nationwide.
CBEM provides a coordinated continuum of crisis support that connects prevention, 24/7 crisis response, stabilization, and continued care. Our teams work with individuals, families, caregivers, and service providers to identify early signs of distress, develop practical strategies, respond to active crises by phone or in person, and promote safety and stability in the least restrictive setting. As needs change, we reassess strategies, coordinate additional resources, and strengthen the support network to reduce recurring crises and sustain long-term stability.
Since 2008, CBEM has grown from a five-person team serving one Regional Center in San Francisco to a statewide organization serving individuals across California:
Supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across California, CBEM offers 24/7 community-based crisis intervention that promotes stability, independence, and well-being.
If an individual is experiencing behavioral or mental health challenges that affect their safety, stability, daily functioning, or quality of life, they may benefit from additional support.
Accessing CBEM services begins with a referral from a participating California Regional Center.
Whether you're exploring services for yourself, a family member, or someone you support professionally, the CBEM team is here to help.
We can assist with understanding available programs, navigating state and local service systems, and connecting individuals with the resources and supports that best fit their needs.
