Crisis &
Transitional Services 

We are there when our clients need us, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

‍

After hours services may include:

• Emergency assessment
• Phone consultation
• Outreach
• Emergency medication management
• Crisis case management
• Assistance with accessing higher levels of care
  ‍

SOUND clinicians are trained to consider emergency departments and inpatient hospitalization only as a last resort when personal or community safety and/or grave disability are imminent.  Many of our clients are impoverished and come to us in psychiatric crisis, in part triggered by the perils of homelessness, malnourishment, victimization and violence, isolation, job loss, medication mismanagement, racism, and interpersonal conflict.
‍

Our crisis clinicians assess the situation and assist with crisis intervention skills which may include:

• Connection with community resources
• Social services
• Shelters
• Medical providers
• Designated crisis responders
• Culturally specific resources
