This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seneca Family of Agencies (FOA) is a non-profit organization providing community and school-based mental health services for severely, emotionally, disturbed children and adolescents. Seneca FOA's ability to support the most at risk youth and families in California in achieving success hinges on adherence to their five core principals; Parent-driven, strengths based service planning, individualized care, cultural competency, interagency collaboration and unconditional care. This value of unconditional care ensures that not only will Seneca never stop working with a youth due to their behaviors but that the services they receive will always be designed to meet individual needs no matter what it takes. One of Seneca FOA's programs that helps the agency to meet its commitment to unconditional care is the Rapid Response Crisis Hotline. This is Seneca's 24/7 crisis hotline for all clients, their families, Seneca staff, and community and county partners enrolled in or working with the agency's community-based mental health services. Staffed by trained administrators, the Rapid Response Crisis Hotline ensures that no client need goes unmet due time of day, year, or not being able to reach their primary treatment team. Through either over-the-phone counseling or activating an in-person response from a pool of on-call staff, Rapid Response administrators are always available for community crisis needs as well any less intensive support needs of clients, families and partners. The following paper is a summary of the 300 hour fieldwork experience of designing and conducting a program evaluation of Seneca FOA's Rapid Response Crisis Hotline Program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the deinstitutionalization in the 1950s of thousands of individuals with severe mental illness who were released from psychiatric hospitals without adequate support, communities have struggled to provide crisis interventions for people who would otherwise end up in emergency departments, jails, and hospitals. Mobile crisis outreach teams began to emerge in the early 1970s as one solution to the need for stabilizing consumers in the community. Despite their proliferation over the past 30 to 40 years, there is a paucity of program evaluations or sound empirical investigations supporting their effectiveness (Murphy, Irving, Adams, & Driver, 2012). The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the mobile crisis outreach team model in reducing placement in more costly and restrictive settings and in linking individuals to more appropriate mental health services. The specific aim of this study was to evaluate the relative effectiveness of three independent variables, which are distinct crisis intervention methods on a number of dependent variables related to community-based behavioral health utilization and post intervention emergency department utilization, inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, and crisis residential stays. Results were mixed with respect to crisis interventions' statistically significant effect on decreasing post intervention ED visits, psychiatric hospitalizations, and crisis residential stays. The interventions were not significantly different from each other. Following the interventions, approximately 70% of participants were linked to community-based behavioral health services although results suggest that other factors such as a diagnosis of schizophrenia and older age are most predictive of service linkage. Future research is needed to distinguish the impact of the mobile aspect of crisis interventions.
Download or read book CRISIS INTERVENTION AND COUNSELING BY TELEPHONE AND THE INTERNET written by David Lester and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will further stimulate interest and discussion of the telephone and the Internet as a mode of treatment. In this extensively revised third edition, a practical framework for providing immediate problem-solving assistance by telephone to persons in crisis is provided. Several new chapters have been added and several chapters have been updated and rewritten. The text offers specific techniques to deal with out-of-control situations with the highly important initial steps to protect the caller, the crisis worker, and the community. The scope of the book includes an overview of counseling by telephone, how to effectively manage crises, how to be supportive verbally and nonverbally, how to accurately assess situations, and how to help create a sense of stability. Part I discusses the varieties of telephone services, while Part II covers crisis intervention and counseling, including telephone therapy, active listening, cognitive therapy approaches, transactional analysis and learned helplessness approaches, as well as Gestalt therapy approaches. Part III discusses a variety of problem callers: the obscene caller, the chronic caller, the silent caller, the nuisance caller, and the “one counselor” caller. A new section, Part IV—Special Topics, includes valuable information on dealing with adolescents, war veterans, rural communities, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities on campus. Part V offers a look at contact beyond the telephone, including crisis intervention by e-mail and letter. Part VI views the roles of telephone counselors, such as the mental health professional, the nonprofessional crisis worker, selecting telephone counselors, and training crisis workers. Finally, Part VII summarizes and evaluates today’s telephone counseling services. This unique and up-to-date book serves as a comprehensive tool for those setting up telephone and Internet counseling services and those in charge of centers already operating, especially in training and supervising those on the front lines, the crisis interveners.
Download or read book The SAFER R Model written by George Everly, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2017-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological Crisis Intervention: The SAFER-R Model is designed to provide the reader with a simple set of guidelines for the provision of psychological first aid (PFA). The model of psychological first aid (PFA) for individuals presented in this volume is the SAFER-R model developed by the authors. Arguably it is the most widely used tactical model of crisis intervention in the world with roughly 1 million individuals trained in its operational and derivative guidelines. This model of PFA is not a therapy model nor a substitute for therapy. Rather it is designed to help crisis interventionists stabile and mitigate acute crisis reactions in individuals, as opposed to groups. Guidelines for triage and referrals are also provided. Before plunging into the step-by-step guidelines, a brief history and terminological framework is provided. Lastly, recommendations for addressing specific psychological challenges (suicidal ideation, resistance to seeking professional psychological support, and depression) are provided.

This book was released on 2019-03-17 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program has become a globally recognized model for safely and effectively assisting people with mental and substance use disorders who experience crises in the community. The CIT Model promotes strong community partnerships among law enforcement, behavioral health providers, people with mental and substance use disorders, along with their families and others. While law enforcement agencies have a central role in program development and ongoing operations, a continuum of crisis services available to citizens prior to police involvement is part of the model. These other community services (e.g., mobile crisis teams, crisis phone lines) are essential for avoiding criminal justice system involvement for those with behavioral health challenges ? a goal of CIT programs (Steadman & Morrissette, 2016). CIT is just one part of a robust continuum of behavioral health services for the whole community.

This book was released on 2019-11-23 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crisis Services are a continuum of services that are provided to individuals experiencing a psychiatric emergency. The primary goal of these services is to stabilize and improve psychological symptoms of distress and to engage individuals in an appropriate treatment service to address the problem that led to the crisis. Core crisis services include: 23-hour crisis stabilization/observation beds, short term crisis residential services and crisis stabilization, mobile crisis services, 24/7 crisis hotlines, warm lines, psychiatric advance directive statements, and peer crisis services. The research base on the effectiveness of crisis services is growing. There is evidence that crisis stabilization, community-based residential crisis care, and mobile crisis services can divert individuals from unnecessary hospitalizations and ensure the least restrictive treatment option is available to people experiencing behavioral health crises.
Download or read book Emergency Care for Children written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children represent a special challenge for emergency care providers, because they have unique medical needs in comparison to adults. For decades, policy makers and providers have recognized the special needs of children, but the system has been slow to develop an adequate response to their needs. This is in part due to inadequacies within the broader emergency care system. Emergency Care for Children examines the challenges associated with the provision of emergency services to children and families and evaluates progress since the publication of the Institute of Medicine report Emergency Medical Services for Children (1993), the first comprehensive look at pediatric emergency care in the United States. This new book offers an analysis of: • The role of pediatric emergency services as an integrated component of the overall health system. • System-wide pediatric emergency care planning, preparedness, coordination, and funding. • Pediatric training in professional education. • Research in pediatric emergency care. Emergency Care for Children is one of three books in the Future of Emergency Care series. This book will be of particular interest to emergency health care providers, professional organizations, and policy makers looking to address the pediatric deficiencies within their emergency care systems.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Despite an increasing trend for children to visit the emergency department (ED) for behavioral health reasons, this is not the ideal treatment setting. One alternative service in Connecticut is Mobile Crisis Intervention Services, which has been shown to be effective in diverting behavioral health cases from the ED. Mobile Crisis provides children in crisis with a response in the community from a clinician, who can de-escalate the crisis and link the child to services. It is important to look at how this service is being used, and one such element is what factors are related to children who have multiple episodes with Mobile Crisis. Research Questions: 1. Are different sociodemographic groups more or less likely to return to Mobile Crisis? 2. What presenting problems are associated with repeat Mobile Crisis episodes? 3. Is the child's clinical acuity and history of mental health care associated with the number of Mobile Crisis episodes? 4. How are the characteristics of the initial Mobile Crisis episode, and the services provided during that episode, related to the subsequent number of episodes (e.g. source of referral to Mobile Crisis, length of service, follow-up care, and referral to long-term care)? Methods: This study employed a retrospective cohort design, analyzing data for children who had their first Mobile Crisis episode between 2015 and 2017. Data for these children were looked at for two years following their first episode, to determine how many episodes each child had during that time. In addition to descriptive analysis of the sample, binary logistic regression and zero-inflated binomial regression were used to look at the relationships between various factors and the outcome variable. Results: Findings were largely consistent across the two regression models, indicating stronger support for the results. There were several notable findings. Certain presenting problems - disruptive behavior and harm/risk of harm to self - are associated with an increased number of Mobile Crisis episodes. Additionally, children with more acute symptoms at intake and a history of behavioral health services were more likely to return to Mobile Crisis. Children were most likely to have multiple episodes if they were referred by their family rather than a third party. There were also several associations found for demographic groups, with females, younger children, and children living in certain regions of the state being more likely to have multiple episodes. Conclusions: This research has important implications for Mobile Crisis and for behavioral health services as a whole. Though additional research is needed, these findings begin to provide a framework for how this service is used, and may be able to inform practice. Investigation of this service is not only useful for Mobile Crisis in Connecticut, but for mobile crisis response and other crisis management systems in other states.
