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

Public mental health services are concentrated in two main areas: Community Crisis Response and assistance for Adults with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) or children facing serious emotional challenges. COMMUNITY CRISIS RESPONSE SERVICES serve as the initial intervention for adults in 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 24/7 crisis response services, including hotlines, emergency psychiatric evaluations, treatment referrals, and consultations with law enforcement, hospitals, and other social services as needed. SEVERE AND PERSISTENT MENTAL ILLNESS services are designed for individuals aged 18 and older who are diagnosed with severe mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder, major affective disorder, delusional disorder, or borderline personality disorder. The severity of these conditions must disrupt functioning in at least two areas of life, either consistently or intermittently. SPMI services encompass screening and referral, 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 supportive employment. The Mental Health Program is managed by the Division of Behavioral Health. Services are available in English, with interpreters accessible upon request. Intake Procedure: Call to be screened for eligibility.
