Medical Escort Servicesorganizing and transporting mental health consumers to treatment and assessment services providing transport for people experiencing mental disorders, or suspected of experiencing mental disorders. Arrangements vary across jurisdictions. Frequently transporting mental health consumers, when it is not provided by carers, families or consumers themselves.
For some persons, a mental disorder or a mental illness leaves them unable to make decisions about caring for their basic human needs such as food, shelter, and medical care. A few people who are experiencing a mental disorder or a mental illness may be in danger of hurting themselves or others. This can be a very confusing and frightening experience for them as well as for their families and friends. With appropriate evaluation, treatment, and travel companion escort care, most people with mental illness can return to their normal lives.
