Crisis Stabilization

A vital lifeline for individuals experiencing acute mental health crises. Our mission is to provide immediate, effective support to prevent hospitalization and to stabilize crises in the most familiar and comfortable settings for those in need. Our program is spearheaded by a dedicated team of mental health professionals who are specially trained in crisis intervention and stabilization techniques. Available 24/7, our mobile crisis units are equipped to respond swiftly to calls for help, offering on-the-spot assessment, intervention, and stabilization services. Whether in homes, schools, or other community settings, our team is there to provide the support and guidance necessary during critical times. Garris Group's approach to crisis intervention is holistic and person-centered, focusing not only on immediate stabilization but also on crafting a follow-up care plan that addresses the root causes of the crisis. Our services include de-escalation techniques, connection to ongoing mental health services, and coordination with community resources to ensure a continuum of care.

Our Community Crisis Stabilization Program is designed to offer a safe, supportive environment where individuals can receive short-term, intensive support following a crisis. This aspect of our program aims to bridge the gap between crisis intervention and long-term recovery, offering personalized care plans that promote healing and resilience. If you or someone you know is facing a mental health crisis, Garris Group is here to help. Together, we can work towards a path of recovery and stability, ensuring that every individual has the support they need when they need it the most.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, please don’t hesitate to call 988 for immediate support.
