Keywords:
mental health crisis, services, innovation, cost-effective, trauma-informed careAbstract
The increase in mental health crises and the need for a comprehensive, cost-effective response have posed challenges to the public health system. The emphasis on providing services in a “safe environment” has enforced the notion that hospitals are most secure for the individual in crisis. This paper describes an alternative to hospital-based mental health crisis services based on the principles of trauma-informed care. The outcomes of this alternative model are also outlined.
