Mental Health Services (Adult/Children) - Twin Falls, Dhw5

Public mental health services are concentrated in key areas: Community Crisis Response and assistance for adults with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) or children with significant emotional disturbances. COMMUNITY CRISIS RESPONSE SERVICES serve as the initial intervention for adults undergoing a mental health crisis, which may include psychiatric symptoms like self-harm or harm to others. Each Welfare region in Idaho hosts 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 and local hospitals as needed. SEVERE AND PERSISTENT MENTAL ILLNESS services are designed for individuals aged 18 and older who are diagnosed with severe mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder, major affective disorder, delusional disorder, or borderline personality disorder. These disorders must significantly disrupt the individual's ability to function in at least two areas of life, 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, psychosocial rehabilitation for individuals and groups, as well as consultation and community supportive employment. The Mental Health Program is overseen by the Division of Behavioral Health, and services are available in English, with interpreters accessible upon request. Intake Procedure: Call to be screened for eligibility.
