What are Crisis And Transition Services?

A mental health crisis occurs when an individual’s emotions, thoughts, or behaviors become so overwhelming that they can no longer cope safely or effectively using their usual supports.
Crises may include intense fear, panic, hopelessness, anger, or confusion, and may place the person or others at risk of harm.

A crisis does not always require hospitalization, but it does require immediate stabilization and structured support to restore safety and functioning.

Community Stabilization at RPTC provides short-term, intensive support to bridge the gap between crisis response and longer-term treatment.
Services may be delivered in the home, community, or another safe environment, and may include:

• Immediate assessment, safety planning, and crisis counseling

• 24-hour access to crisis coordination and follow-up

• Skill-building to manage triggers and maintain stability

• Psychoeducation for individuals and families

• Collaboration with hospitals, MCOs, and community partners

• Linkage to outpatient therapy, psychiatric care, or case management

All services are provided by Licensed Mental Health Professionals (LMHPs) and Qualified Mental Health Professionals (QMHPs) trained in crisis stabilization and trauma-informed care.

You or someone you know may benefit from Crisis or Community Stabilization Services if you are:

• Experiencing suicidal thoughts or self-harm urges

• Having intense anxiety, panic, or emotional distress

• Exhibiting disorganized, erratic, or aggressive behavior

• Feeling hopeless, depressed, or unable to function safely

• Recently discharged from inpatient or emergency care and need short-term support

At Renewed Purpose Treatment Center (RPTC), our Crisis Response and Community Stabilization Team delivers rapid, person-centered intervention to individuals experiencing acute behavioral-health emergencies.

Our goals are to:

• Stabilize the crisis in a safe and supportive environment

• Reduce risk of harm and prevent unnecessary hospitalization

• Empower individuals to regain emotional and behavioral control

• Develop a short-term safety and recovery plan

• Connect clients to ongoing care and community supports once stabilized

Our approach is trauma-informed, recovery-oriented, and grounded in dignity, compassion, and respect.
