Crisis Intervention Specialists may provide remote crisis assessment, intervention and/or information and referrals to County Mental Health Programs, local law enforcement, or other appropriate resources. Those seeking assistance can ask questions and share concerns about themselves or someone they know who may be experiencing mental illness, substance use, developmental disability, or thoughts of self- harm or suicide. Crisis services that can be addressed by the 988 Call Center are not limited to suicide prevention, but also include, services to address depression, anxiety, sexual assault, domestic violence, grief, runaways, elderly concerns, emergency disaster crisis response, substance use disorder, and critical incident stress debriefing.
