Contact UsMental health disorders and illnesses are serious and should be responded to as such. However, the question comes as to where exactly a person should go in a crisis situation. Knowing what to do and where to go in a crisis situation is imperative to a person’s overall wellness.
Crisis care has the potential to do a world of good for those who need it. For example, a crisis care program that’s been well designed and thought out can give backup to providers in the community. Not only that, but it’s also a possibility that those receiving first-time care get connected to the right service or program for them. There are many ways that a good crisis care program can have an impact on the community and the individuals it treats.
Book An AppointmentA successful crisis care service program may include the following elements:
There are a variety of factors that could determine what kind of crisis care services a person may be able to receive. Some of these depend on different variables such as where a person lives. Figuring out what’s available in the surrounding area is imperative to one’s crisis preparedness. This is the same for every aspect of crisis care management. The more prepared someone is, the better off they will be when a crisis occurs.
24-hour crisis communication consists of phone services that provide the following:
These lines of communication are usually the first that a person seeks out when finding help/ For this reason, a 24-hour crisis line must be open and working effectively. This could mean the difference of a crisis having a detrimental impact on a person’s life.

Contact UsA mental health emergency room is a walk-in crisis service consisting of clinics and mental health service centers that take care of individuals as soon as they arrive. Sometimes these centers serve as a mediator between individuals struggling with a crisis and law enforcement. This is because oftentimes law enforcement may detain an individual unnecessarily when what they really need is crisis care. All in all, walk-in services focus on reducing crises in a more controlled and stable environment than in an actual hospital.
Mobile crisis teams are groups that intervene for those in crisis situations regardless of where it’s happening. These teams work closely with law enforcement to ensure safety and understanding. They also work with hotlines and emergency medical personnel. What’s great about mobile response teams is that it’s not just about resolving the current situation; it’s about helping those experiencing a mental health crisis, whatever it might mean for them. For example, mobile teams provide pre-screening and act as gatekeepers for inpatient care.
Crisis residential care helps a person stabilize in the middle of a crisis care situation. Not only that but respite and residential care helps to actually address a person’s issues and provides them with continual support. Some of the services they provide may include the following:
Residential treatment for crisis care is a good alternative to hospitalization. It could also work as a transitional phase between the hospital and the world outside the crisis care center. These respite services also help those suffering both directly and indirectly (like family or loved ones) feel a sense of relief. This has to do with the support that comes outside the homes of those who are dealing with crisis management.
Some versions of respite care include the following:
Family-based support is when a person who is in crisis management lives with a support “family.” The “family,” in particular, are professionally screened and trained personnel. The purpose of this is to provide mental and emotional support and also to plan treatment. Treatment is planned daily while visiting the home.
Respite centers are areas of care in which a patient is observed and supported 24 hours a day until they’re stable. Crisis professionals or volunteers often look over individuals at these centers. Not only that, but they also encourage patients, support, and assist them in ways that contribute to their recovery.
In the middle of a crisis, it’s imperative to have support around you in the immediate area. In-home crisis support is great for those who need support from those around them in their everyday environment. Sometimes, a separation from one’s daily environment is imperative, but for those who don’t require separation, in-home support is beneficial.
When it comes to treating individuals in crisis, it is imperative that each kind of stabilization is taken into account. Some of these include the following:
You should go to the emergency room for your mental health if the following relates to you:
