What is Crisis Intervention?

  • Crisis Intervention provides mental health intervention, assessment, support, screening, and referral services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • Services are available for anyone who calls, chats, texts, or requests a Crisis Specialist to come to their home, school, or community.

  • Follow-up support and referrals are available to other community providers if needed.

What is Crisis Intervention Like?

  • You will be greeted by a trained Crisis Specialist in-person or over the phone.

  • The Crisis Specialist will assess the situation and determine your level of need.

  • If you need immediate care, the Crisis Specialist will find a hospital or facility close to you.

  • The Crisis Specialist will provide a safe space to actively listen and create a plan for future needs.

  • The Crisis Specialist will connect you to community resources for your situation.

  • The Crisis Specialist will offer voluntary follow-up contacts to see if you are in need of any other resources or help.
