Mobile Crisis Stabilization Teams are available 7-days to follow-up with consumers referred from emergency departments and referred to less than inpatient and community services that are not medically monitored 24-hours (e.g. Crisis Residential and SUD Residential or Withdrawal Management).

​

Prior to the consumer leaving the emergency department, a stabilization appointment is offered and scheduled.  Within 24-hours of the initial PAR, a mobile crisis stabilization team, made up of a licensed, Master's degreed clinicians and peer support specialist, reach out to meet with the consumer face-to-face at thier place of residence to:

​

• Identify the individual's needs

• Develop a plan to reduce the recurrence of the identified crisis

• Ensure basic needs for living in the community safely are met

• Ensure medical needs, both psychiatric and physical, are met

• Establish communication with the individual's local Community Mental Health clinic of choice

• Continue services with the individual until a physical linkage withe a community clinic is achieved

            

Mobile Crisis Stabilization services are provided up-to 28-days; the frequency at which services are provided is based on the individual's needs.

​

Mobile teams are available to assist at AFC homes to prevent crisis from occurring by providing coaching services to staff, short-term respite for the consumer at Community Outreach for Psychiatric Emergencies' walk-in facility and or urgent medication reviews by COPE's on-site psychiatrists.
