Crisis Services 
Program Overview:
Crisis Intervention Services are interventions provided in response to a crisis in order to reduce symptoms of severe and persistent mental illness and/or serious emotional disturbance. Our goal is to prevent an individual from having to go to a more restrictive environment (jail or a psychiatric hospital).

• Crisis Intervention Services – to assist the individual in reducing stress and managing symptoms.

1-7 days depending on risk level.
• Linking and referral to other community resources
• Pathway Services
• Personalized Safety Planning / CSSRS
• Crisis Response Team (CRT)
• 24-Hour Crisis Response, Seven Days/Week
