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

Public mental health services are organized into key areas: Community Crisis Response and Services for Adults with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) or children with significant emotional disturbances. COMMUNITY CRISIS RESPONSE SERVICES serve as the first line of intervention for adults in mental health crises, which may include psychiatric symptoms like thoughts of 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, local hospitals, and other social services as needed. SEVERE AND PERSISTENT MENTAL ILLNESS services are aimed at individuals aged 18 and older who experience the most severe and persistent mental health issues. Eligible individuals must have diagnoses 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 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.
