February 10, 2022 - Imperial County Behavioral Health’s Crisis Care Mobile Unit: An Evolution of Community Care - Maria Ruiz, MSW Deputy Director Mental Health Triage and Engagement Services Jose Alvarez Program Supervisor Mental Health TriageImperial County Behavioral Health is in the process of teaming with law enforcement, local hospitals and schools to deliver mobile crisis support to community members experiencing mental health distress. The beginnings of the project have already shown that this professional intervention commonly results in earlier treatment engagement, necessitating a lower level of care. This increases the safety of the person and the community while also saving significant amounts of spending that result from higher levels of care. It’s a win win win win: better services, delivered at a lower cost, more safely, and supporting our local agency partners. Join us as we detail the programs, review the data, and learn more about this evolutionary step in local community mental health. |
