Issue Brief Highlights Data and Trends from Mobile Crisis Annual Report
|
Connecticut's youth mobile crisis program is free for children under 18 and can be accessed by calling 2-1-1. The program serves children in their homes and communities and helps divert children from high-end interventions (such as hospitalization or arrest) when a lower level of care is a safe and effective alternative.
Since 2009, CHDI has worked with the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF) to ensure that high quality standards are met by
providing data analysis, monthly reporting, quality improvement, and professional development through the Mobile Crisis Performance Improvement Center.
