Crisis-Lite Stabilization & Transition Support for Adults
Who We Are
Emergent Mental Health Services (EMHS) provides short-term, non-acute mental health support for adults who need help stabilizing and transitioning to the next level of care.
We serve as a bridge between crisis and ongoing services, supporting individuals who do not require emergency or inpatient care—but still need timely support.
What We Do
We provide coordinated, short-term stabilization services, including:
- Crisis-Lite Groups
- Crisis-Lite Counseling
- Peer Support
- Case Management
- Psychiatric Services (including short-term/bridge medication support when appropriate)
- Resource Navigation
Services are combined based on individual need and delivered through a team-based approach.
Who We Serve
We commonly accept individuals who are:
- Recently discharged from inpatient psychiatric or substance use programs
- Stepping down from crisis or higher levels of care
- Transitioning from jail, prison, or re-entry programs
- Experiencing emotional distress but not requiring hospitalization
- Waiting for outpatient services or experiencing gaps in care
Difficult to engage in traditional outpatient settings
When to Refer to EMHS
- Refer when an individual:
- Needs stabilization but is not in immediate danger
- Does not meet criteria for inpatient or crisis admission
- Needs support during a transition between levels of care
- Is at risk of falling through the cracks
- Needs help connecting to services and resources
When NOT to Refer to EMHS
- EMHS is not appropriate for individuals who:
- Require emergency medical or psychiatric intervention
- Are in immediate danger to themselves or others
- Require inpatient or involuntary treatment
- In these cases, refer to emergency services, crisis response, or 988.
Our Role: A Bridge to Ongoing Care
We don’t just stabilize—we help individuals move forward.
We coordinate connection to:
- Outpatient mental health providers
- Ongoing psychiatric care
- Substance use treatment programs
- Sober living / recovery housing
- Re-entry and community support programs
- Housing and other community resources
Our goal is to ensure safe transitions and continuity of care.
What Makes EMHS Different
- Crisis-Lite Model – a defined level of care between crisis and outpatient
- Rapid Access – timely intake and service initiation
- Team-Based Care – multiple services working together
- Bridge Medication Support – when appropriate to prevent gaps in care
- Strong Care Coordination – we don’t just refer—we help connect
