New Crisis Program Opened in Stanislaus County
/Stanislaus Crisis Stabilization Unit
On February 29, Telecare opened the doors to the Stanislaus County Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU). Created in partnership with Stanislaus County’s Behavioral Health Department, the unlocked, 4-chair CSU is co-located with the Stanislaus Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) and provides 24/7 emergency service for adults who are experiencing a mental-health related crisis.
The CSU is Medi-Cal certified and offers services that emphasize choice-making skills and harm-reduction techniques where clients can receive immediate, individualized assistance to stabilize symptoms, and receive appropriate referrals to community-based resources.
