Mental Health Services (Adult/Children) - Moscow, Dhw2

Public mental health services are primarily divided into two key areas: Community Crisis Response and assistance for adults with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) or children facing significant emotional challenges. COMMUNITY CRISIS RESPONSE SERVICES serve as the initial intervention for adults undergoing mental health crises, which may include psychiatric symptoms like self-harm or threats to others. Each Welfare region in Idaho is equipped with a community health center and additional satellite offices that offer 24-hour crisis response services, including hotlines, emergency psychiatric evaluations, treatment referrals, and consultations with law enforcement, local hospitals, and other social service entities as needed. SEVERE AND PERSISTENT MENTAL ILLNESS services are designed for individuals aged 18 and older who are diagnosed with severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder, major affective disorder, delusional disorder, or borderline personality disorder. The severity of these conditions must significantly disrupt functioning in at least two areas, either consistently or intermittently. SPMI services encompass screening and referrals, assertive community treatment, crisis intervention, case management, psychiatric and medical services, short-term outpatient therapy, individual and group psychosocial rehabilitation, consultation and education, and community-supported employment. The Mental Health Program is managed by the Division of Behavioral Health, with services available in English and interpreters upon request. Intake Procedure: Call to be screened for eligibility.
