Crisis Intervention Services

Crisis intervention services are designed to provide immediate assistance to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. These services aim to stabilize the individual, ensure their safety, and connect them with appropriate resources for ongoing support. Crisis intervention can involve:

• Assessment: Evaluating the individual's mental state and immediate needs.
• De-escalation: Using techniques to calm the individual and reduce the intensity of the crisis.
• Safety Planning: Developing a plan to ensure the individual's safety and prevent future crises.
• Referral: Connecting the individual with mental health professionals, support groups, or other resources for continued care.

First Aid Services

First aid services provide immediate care to individuals who are injured or suddenly become ill. The goal is to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and promote recovery until professional medical help arrives. First aid can include:

• Basic Life Support: Administering CPR and using an AED.
• Wound Care: Cleaning and dressing wounds to prevent infection.
• Managing Emergencies: Responding to situations like choking, burns, and allergic reactions.
• Stabilization: Keeping the individual stable and comfortable until emergency services arrive.
