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.

"Recognizing that we have the ability to help others, only if it's just by listening, is a powerful way to let those we care about know they're not alone."
NAMI CT and all its affiliates encourage those who struggle to feel emotionally safe to speak out with others who "get it', who've "been there." This approach to mental health challenges is powerful and evidence-based. Brava to Paloma Bayona, Program Director of NAMI CT, for this new program to help veterans with the many challenges of "coming home." Thank you WTNH. #NAMIHomefront #NAMICT Contact NAMI CT to learn more: 860 882 0236 Or the website NAMIct.org
