Our service structure once approximated the current #crisis services model. We had a hotline, a mobile crisis team, and a walk-in crisis center. Our 988 Call Center is a key part of the new model. Our hotline and crisis center are still meeting needs.

Next week is #Crisis Residential Week. Our CRP, Carol’s Place, gives 24/7 care to adults at risk of decompensation needing a stress-free setting to regain psychiatric stability or help in developing supports. Carol’s Place diverts clients from a path to hospitalization.

Today with heavy hearts we say goodbye to Julie Peticca after more than three decades of dedicated service. As Director of Crisis Intervention, she set the tone for caring and professionalism in a setting that changed every time the phone rang or the front door opened. Best!
