We understand the dynamic nature of working with children, where situations can quickly escalate.

Recognizing this reality, we offer on-call crisis support exclusively for our established clients and families, accessible Monday through Saturday. Monitored by a licensed therapist, this service ensures that families have immediate access to real-time support during their most challenging and daunting moments.

It also offers strategies to navigate challenging situations, enabling families to adapt and grow together.

Overview:

Rest assured, we’re here to provide the guidance and assistance needed to navigate through crises effectively, offering reassurance and stability when it matters most.

Current Cedar clients can access phone crisis support as short-term service provided during a family or mental health crisis. These services help the child and or family to:

Cope with immediate stressors and achieve stabilization
Identify and use available resources, including individual or family strengths
Avoid unnecessary hospitalization and loss of autonomy
Develop an action or safety plan
Begin to return to their baseline level of functioning and stability

Cedar Mental Health is as private pay clinic. We do not accept insurance. Many of our services are customized based on individual client & family need.
