MHSS 2 Unit Cap
 
I have worked with clients who experienced severe anxiety & displayed aggressive behavior when their symptoms escalated. These clients benefited from being connected to an ER with the presence of MHSS worker. These sessions would sometimes exceed 3 hours. When an extended session is justifiable it should be allowed.
