BHN Program Spotlight: Crisis Intervention

December 11, 2025

When life feels overwhelming, we’re here for you.

Our Crisis Intervention Team supports children, youth, adults, and families facing mental health or substance use emergencies—such as suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, severe depression, or trauma. 

 

We also provide short-term follow-up care to help stabilize after a crisis. We accept all insurance and assist those without coverage.

Anything that somebody can identify as a crisis, no matter how big or small, we’ll help them get situated—whatever they need. That’s what I’m there for.

S.P. recently connected with our crisis team for support, meeting with staff multiple times a day over a three‑day period. He described the team as “superb” and shared that the care he received felt like “genuine help.” He noted that he had been in a very dark place, but the conversations with staff helped him feel “much better."


He continues to work with the staff at The Living Room for ongoing support and expressed deep gratitude for the encouragement he’s received—especially from Brian, whose presence has been particularly meaningful in his healing process.
