Crisis intervention
 

The proposed change to the crisis intervention services would decrease the quantity and quality of treatment for the individual coming in to be seen during a crisis. Having to complete a SSPI weekly would take away from treatment for the crisis. A majority of the SSPI information collected will not change within a week to week's time frame. Continuously asking the individual the same questions every week would discourage the individual to continue with services and possibly increase the likelihood of a possible hospitailzation or residential crisis stabilization.
