This may include phone or face-to-face consult. • CSC Mobile Response service is offered from 5pm to 8am seven days a week. • LEO can contact a CSC from 5p to 8am / 7 days a week, including holidays, at 785-220-6134.

Crisis Line number is 785-234-3300. • Calls for assistance will be responded to within 5 minutes of receiving the call. The CSC will then give an estimated time for face-to-face assistance. • CSC will obtain a Release of Information on face-to-face contacts from individuals in crisis so collaboration with LEO can occur.

  11. CSC Mobile Responders objectives include the following: • Provide a timely and appropriate initial response to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis by intervening proactively and earlier, before the level of deterioration is such that hospital services or arrest becomes necessary. • Enhance the capacity to provide short-term crisis stabilization to promote safe outcomes for individuals in crisis, clinical staff, the public and LEO. • Facilitate a range of crisis intervention, stabilization, support, safety plans, and/or follow-up services to connect individual to adequate mental health services once the acute phase of the crisis is resolved.

  12. CSC Mobile Responders objectives include the following continued: • Reduce the potential for escalation and aggression in the presence of LEO (e.g. those individuals who feel threatened/fearful when interacting with LEO) • Enhance the ability for LEO to defer mental health responses to the Mobile Responder, and thereby reducing LEO resources on-scene, time waiting with individuals in the ER, Stormont Vail West, etc.

  13. CSC Mobile Responders objectives include the following continued: • Promote a respectful and non-threatening early intervention for individuals experiencing psychiatric symptoms, while enhancing the capacity to remain in the community, or the least intrusive and most appropriate services for the individual • Facilitate the most appropriate care option to reduce repeated or inappropriate contacts with LEO • Adopt a more proactive approach to addressing evolving community issues regarding individuals with mental illness, through effective partnership and liaison activity between MH and LEO.

  14. Role and Responsibility of CSC: • CSC will assist the LEO as requested in crisis situations with individuals with mental needs in the community and priority will be given to LEO for assistance. • CSC will identify Crisis Intervention, Safety Plans or Coping Skills needs for individuals in crisis to minimize the risk of harm to self or others. • CSC will provide next day short-term follow-up to individual seen by LEO. These situations must not be urgent in nature, and for individuals who do not require immediate assessment/hospital admission. • CSC will make arrangements with LEO to meet at scene in the event situation warrants face-to face mental health intervention. The parties will consult regarding roles and best mode of intervention for individual in crisis.

  15. Role and Responsibility of CSC Continued: • CSC will utilize mental health services such as, Crisis Residential Program- The Residence, Crisis In-Home Support Services, CCM Follow-Up, MH Screening, etc. as needed. • CSC will complete tracking and appropriate documentation on each call. • CSC will communicate with LEO about prioritizing if multiple calls occurs.

  16. Role and Responsibility of LEO: • CSC and LEO will confer in order to make sure safety is determined and the necessity of LEO to remain and continue to provide stand-by assist to the CSC. As soon as safety is determined the LEO will be freed up and the CSC will continue to provide interventions as identified. • If necessary CSC will request LEO to come back to a scene in the event the individual decompensates or becomes volatile and safety is compromised for the individual and/or the CSC. • If necessary CSC will request LEO assist with transporting individual if they pose a danger risk to self or others to appropriate location for CSC to evaluate treatment needs.
