health crisis intervention to avoid unnecessary hospitalization. Specifically, the objectives of the Act are to create
2,000 additional crisis stabilization/residential treatment beds, 25 mobile crisis support teams and 600 triage
personnel statewide. The Behavioral Health Division would like to submit a proposal under each Request for
Applications. One proposal would create three triage teams, each comprised of two clinicians and a peer provider, to
provide targeted case management and family access for adults. The second proposal would create a small (6 bed)
crisis residential facility for youth and two mobile crisis support teams for children.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the grant funding is not secured, consumers may experience unnecessary 5150s, visits to PES and hospitalizations.
