YCS
Clinician
The Youth Crisis Support program’s mobile response provides immediate response to young people (7-17 years old) who are experiencing a mental health crisis within the community by providing de-escalation, behavioral health support, safety planning, and clinical case management services during and after a mental health crisis.
The clinician works to ensure safety, connection, and well-being of the children and families served, and to offer them developmentally appropriate crisis services. Upon meeting the young person in crisis, the clinician assesses their mental state and risk of harm to self or others, and provides up to 6 (six) weeks of in person, short term therapy to de-escalate the crisis. By providing efficient, effective and collaborative intervention during a crisis, clinician works to avoid the necessity of admission to a higher level of care.
