CRISIS STABILIZATION PROGRAM | YSS
Provides short-term care with 24-hour supervision in a residential setting for youth (ages 12-18) experiencing an acute mental health, behavioral health or substance use issue that requires more than a visit to the pediatrician, but less than a trip to the emergency room.
The program offers intervention and support for both the family and the youth to stabilize the current situation and plan for the future. This program is not available to youth who are system involved through the Department of Human Services (DHS) or the Juvenile Court System.
