Four Rivers Behavioral Health provides crisis services for children and adolescents experiencing acute mental health concerns.
Access to crisis services is available 24/7 through a face-to-face assessment. During regular business hours, referrals may be made by clinical staff or outside entities. After hours, face-to-face assessments are arranged through the on-call system.
Walk-in appointments are welcome during regular business hours at select locations.
Help is always available outside of business hours.
Children’s Crisis Stabilization offers short-term care for children in crisis who need more support than outpatient treatment but do not require inpatient hospitalization.
These services focus on:
The goal is to help children return to a more stable level of functioning as quickly and safely as possible.
Children’s Crisis Services include admission to the Center for Specialized Children’s Services’ OurPlace Program.
Children admitted to OurPlace receive an extensive three (3) day evaluation, which includes:
A comprehensive clinical evaluation
A psychiatric evaluation, including medication needs
Observation within a therapeutic milieu environment
Assessment of service coordination needs
When appropriate, referrals are made to the Children’s Case Management Program for continued support.
Two levels of care are available and are determined by the nature and severity of the means crisis.
Evaluation-Only Care
Most children and youth referred require only the three-day evaluation and are able to remain in their current living environment.
Evaluation with Overnight Support
Some children are unable to remain safely in their current environment during the evaluation period. In these cases, Four Rivers Behavioral Health maintains contracts with local Private Child Care providers to offer overnight support.
This flexibility ensures each child receives care that matches their immediate needs.
