Implementing Mental Health Crisis Response and Stabilization Services – Strategies and Successes
4:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m. ET
The presenters will share how they forged partnerships in their community and within their State to address the needs of children and youth in the community who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Each has developed a 24/7 service system to respond immediately, stabilize crises, assess strengths and needs, and mobilize necessary supports. These crisis response systems have been effective in keeping families together, stabilizing placements, and reducing the need for inappropriate psychiatric hospitalization. Learn how these programs evolved, how they operate, strategies for addressing challenges, and results of successful implementation.
