Acute and short-term crisis intervention services provide short-stay crisis intervention services for adults age 19 and over who are experiencing a mental health crisis but do not require hospitalization.
What to expect
We provide a 10-bed residential short stay crisis intervention facility for adults who are experiencing a mental health crisis but do not require an acute psychiatric hospitalization.
The service provides a safe supportive environment where people have the opportunity to learn new skills to better manage their illness once they are discharged back into the community.
People are cared for by an interdisciplinary team 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can be admitted for a maximum of 14 days.
