Crisis services are carried out by Mental Health Clinicians assigned to the Access program. They work together to coordinate service needs in the outpatient clinic or in the local emergency rooms, with any youth experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency. Youth may need an involuntary mental health hold, have a psychiatric diagnosis requiring an acute psychiatric hospitalization, or be an individual who requires specialized services in order to maintain a lower level of care and stability. Services include discharge planning to coordinate transition of care, emergency services, and 24/7 telephone crisis services.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please go to the emergency room of your local hospital for immediate services.
