Issue Brief 65: Mobile Crisis Services
From The Child Health and Development Institute:
An Effective Approach for Reducing Emergency Department Utilization Among Youth with Behavioral Health Conditions.
Connecticut has among the nation's best arrays of services and supports for children with behavioral health needs. Despite this, the rates of emergency department use among youth with behavioral health conditions remains high. Recent data from Connecticut's Medicaid system indicates that from 2014 to 2016 there was a 20% increase in the number of visits to emergency departments among youth with behavioral health diagnoses. Effective alternatives in Connecticut, such as Mobile Crisis Intervention Services, help reduce emergency department visits and promote the use of community-based care.
