A crisis can occur any hour of any day to anyone. It can be caused by things in a person’s control or well out of reach. At Henderson, we are here to help. Our goal is to provide immediate intervention to people experiencing a psychiatric crisis. Early intervention in a time of need can prevent hospitalization and stabilize acute situations. Crisis Services include mobile community outreach or walk-in services, psychiatric evaluation, consultation and medication monitoring, brief therapy, and short-term inpatient psychiatric treatment and stabilization.

Who Benefits? Anyone going through a crisis, or having difficulty coping with personal situations.

What do we offer? Safety, stabilization, immediate support, counseling, and inpatient stabilization and treatment.

How does it work? In person or by phone twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, we support persons in crisis. By assessing the level of distress and developing a plan of action, we make every effort to avoid costly and unnecessary hospitalization by providing immediate treatment and support to individuals in need.
