MOBILE CRISIS, TRIAGE AND AFTER-HOURS EMERGENCY SERVICES

Mobile Intensive Crisis Stabilization Services are in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week and available to everyone. Individuals in need of crisis assistance or brief clinical therapeutic intervention can call the agency, and/or walk-in to be seen on an immediate basis during business hours. After business hours’ individuals can call and speak to an after-hours counselor who will be able to provide assistance.

Outcomes:

During times of crisis, the goal of emergency services is to assist people through mental health-related crises in the least restrictive setting. People requiring crisis services are provided with short-term clinical interventions to work towards their recovery. Often referrals are made to this agency or an alternate agency of the individual's choice.

• Calling Family360 to schedule an appointment to be seen and start counseling as soon as possible.
