Let's seek that beacon in the storm

In moments of crisis, the world can seem overwhelming and solutions out of reach. At our psychiatric and mental health clinic, depending on the level and nature of the crisis situation, we may stand as a beacon of hope during these tumultuous times. Our crisis evaluation and treatment or management services are designed to provide immediate, compassionate, and effective support to those in acute mental distress.

We aim to be calm in your storm, offering a safe harbor as we navigate through the crisis together toward a place of stability and peace.

The essence of crisis intervention

Immediate Support: Our services are tailored to address urgent mental health crises, providing rapid response to individuals in severe distress.
Safety and Stabilization: The focus is on stabilizing the individual’s emotional and psychological state, ensuring their safety, and laying the groundwork for recovery.

Recognizing a crisis: Signs and symptoms

Suicidal Thoughts or Actions: Expressions of wanting to harm oneself or making plans to do so.
Severe Anxiety or Panic Attacks: Overwhelming feelings of anxiety or panic that immobilize the individual.
Psychotic Episodes: Experiences of disconnection from reality, such as hallucinations or delusions.
Acute Stress Reaction: Severe emotional distress following a traumatic event, unable to cope with normal life demands.
Sudden Loss or Grief: Intense emotional pain from the loss of a loved one or significant life changes, leading to crisis.

Navigating through crisis: Our approach

Rapid Assessment: Quick and thorough evaluation to understand the nature and severity of the crisis.
Immediate Intervention: Implementing strategies to ensure safety and begin the process of emotional stabilization.
Supportive Counseling: Offering emotional support and crisis counseling to alleviate acute distress.
Collaborative Care Planning: Working together to develop a short-term plan that addresses immediate needs and outlines steps for follow-up care.

Here are five steps the NIH recommends you can take to #BeThe1To help someone in emotional pain:

Ask Directly: Pose the difficult but crucial question, "Are you thinking about killing yourself?" Research indicates that asking individuals at risk of suicide about their feelings does not increase the likelihood of suicidal thoughts or actions.

Ensure Safety: Minimize access to highly lethal means for those at risk. Inquire about any plans they might have and take steps to remove or secure potential tools of self-harm. This can be a significant preventive measure.

Be Present: Listen attentively to understand the thoughts and feelings of the individual. Discussing suicide openly has been shown to reduce suicidal thoughts, according to studies potentially.

Foster Connections: Store the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline number in your phone—available via call or text—to ensure help is readily accessible. Assist in establishing a support network with trusted individuals such as family members, friends, spiritual advisors, or mental health professionals.

Maintain Contact: Continue to engage with the individual after a crisis or upon discharge from treatment. Regular follow-ups have been proven to decrease suicide rates and provide continued support.
