Crisis Intervention

On July 1, 2003 the Crisis Intervention program for Butler County changed its base of operations from the Irene Stacy Community Mental Health Center to the Center for Community Resources, located at the Holly Pointe Building in downtown Butler.

There are three distinct services offered:

1. Crisis Telephone Service – This consists of a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week hotline which can assess calls, provide information, and, if needed, dispatch aid. The toll free Crisis Line is 800-292-3866.

2. Crisis Walk-in Service – This service is available at our Holly Pointe site, located in Suite 101 at 220 South Main Street in Butler, from 8am – 4pm Monday though Friday.  After-hour walk-in service may be available by appointment. Walk-in services are scheduled by calling the toll free Crisis Line (800-292-3866).

3. Crisis Mobile Service – This service is available from 9am to 12am Monday through Saturday and from 12pm until 8pm on Sunday. Crisis Mobile Services are community based, providing intervention and outreach throughout Butler County.  Mobile Crisis can be reached through the toll free Crisis Line (800-292-3866).

All requests for a Mental Health Delegate (302) can be made by calling the 800 number listed above.  The crisis worker will ask the caller to provide information about the situation.  The Crisis Worker will page the delegate who will determine whether sufficient grounds exist to proceed with an involuntary commitment.  However, the goal of the crisis worker will always be to resolve the crisis in the least restrictive manner.
