COMMUNITY CRISIS RESPONSE SERVICES offer initial intervention for adults undergoing mental health crises, which may include psychiatric symptoms like self-harm thoughts or intentions to harm others. Each Welfare region in Idaho is equipped with a community health center and additional satellite offices that deliver 24-hour crisis response services, including hotlines, emergency psychiatric evaluations, treatment referrals, and consultations with law enforcement, local hospitals, and other social services as needed. SEVERE AND PERSISTENT MENTAL ILLNESS services are specifically designed for individuals aged 18 and older who experience the most critical and ongoing forms of mental illness.
