The IOET will respond within 24 hours to an outreach referral. Depending on the need, our trained staff will provide:
- Assessment: We will meet with you to assess the situation and your needs, and work to identify solutions to the challenges you are experiencing.
- Intervention: We will use brief, therapeutic interventions to stabilize the situation or crisis. If psychiatric or medical hospitalization is needed, we will connect you to immediate help and continue to work with you to provide support. We want to build on your strengths, keep you safe and help you regain control.
- Referral: We’ll help you take steps to receive the care you need, at your pace. Our team can safely connect you to treatment services for ongoing mental health support and/or community resources to meet your current need.
- Follow-up: We will follow-up with you to ensure a smooth transition to any support or services that you are receiving.
