Our crisis intervention team offers a short-term, immediate form of psychological and emotional support to individuals facing acute distress or crisis situations. It involves assessment, emotional support, crisis stabilization, problem-solving, safety planning, and, if necessary, referrals to other services. Crisis intervention is offered by trained professionals in various settings to help individuals regain emotional stability, make decisions to address the crisis, and connect them to appropriate resources and ongoing support, with the primary goal of mitigating immediate distress and reducing the risk of harm.
