| Project Description: | |||||||||
| Respite/crisis services are designated to be an alternative to inpatient or crisis stabilization care. The setting is less traumatic and home like, with a basic focus of allowing an individual to sort out things and identify assistance needed to maintain their status in the commmunity. Peers are used to provide support and model appropriate behavior problem solving. Law enforcement can use this setting with little or no paperwork required. Length of stay will average around 3-5 days with 250 people being served on an annual basis. Program location will be away from urban setting with no more than five persons receiving help at any one time. Any additional required community mental health services will be wrapped around and provided off site. | |||||||||
