How Crisis Care Works

How compassionate crisis care moves someone from crisis to recovery.

Crisis Occurs

Help Is Reached

A person connects with support through 988, community partners, or emergency services.

Crisis Response

Mobile crisis teams, first responders, or community partners help determine the right level of care.

Crisis Stabilization

Individuals receive short-term stabilization in a recovery-focused environment, often like those operated by Recovery Innovations.

Recovery & Connection

Guests leave with support plans and connections to community services and ongoing care.

RI programs operate within community crisis systems that include 988 call centers, mobile crisis teams, and stabilization services.
