Crisis Program

The Crisis Program entails meeting with clients who find themselves in a position where they do not have the skills to cope with a stressor(s), and are therefore said to be in crisis. Substance use, lack of access to medications, and an inability to meet basic needs can also be identified as crisis situations. These barriers could include lack of transportation, support from family and friends, and limited knowledge of resources available. Options for our clients include detailed safety plans or hospitalization if safety cannot be assured in a less restrictive manner. With the opening of Harbor's Urgent Care we will now be able to provide ambulatory detoxification, emergency medication, and resources to help clients meet their basic needs.

The employee who is best suited for the Crisis Program is one who finds fulfillment in meeting clients on some of the worst days of their life and restoring hope that life can be worth living. This program can often be unpredictable and requires characteristics of a clinician that is patience, willing to explore the various options of care for each individual, comfortable with ambiguity, and can remain calm in the face of challenging behavior and/or crisis situations.
