Working Together, Providing Needed Support

• The members of the crisis team work together with agencies, family, and the individuals to help bring needed resources to the problem situation.
• The goal of this short-term service is to determine the support needed to help individuals who are having a crisis, replace the old pattern of crisis behavior with socially appropriate actions, and to alert, connect, and interface with the necessary provider or natural support sources to the problem situation.
• This service prevents unnecessary hospitalizations.
