Crisis Service Coordination

Crisis Service Coordination is a voluntary service available to all adults and children who were served by Crisis Access Network (CAN) Crisis Services.  Crisis Service Coordinators follow up within 24 hours of the referral from the CAN Crisis Service provider and continue to follow the individual for at least 30 days, ensuring that the appropriate Mental Health and Substance Use services are set up for the individual.  After 30 days, the Crisis Service Coordinator completes a Follow-Up Questionnaire with the individual to ensure the appropriate services are in place and then discharges the individual from crisis service coordination if they no longer require assistance. 

Additional crisis services are coming soon.
