The community mental health teams include community outreach teams, also known as the Community Resource, Engagement & Support Team (CREST) and the Community Intervention Team (COMIT). CREST is designed as one of the first stops for mental health to improve access to screening, basic emotional support and other mental health resources, while COMIT provides higher-level psychosocial interventions. Both these resources cater as a first-stop service and also for follow-up in the community. Senior Minister of State for Health Koh Poh Koon said this in his reply to MPs’ questions in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4).
