How It Works

• Threshold specialists respond to the mental health crisis, acting as an alternative to hospitalization or police response
• Upon receiving a call from a person experiencing a mental health crisis, Thresholds specialists will work with callers to assess their situation via telephone and determine the appropriate response 
• This may include dispatching a Crisis Team to caller’s location to assist 
• Crisis Teams are made up of two Thresholds staff, one of whom is a peer support specialist with lived experience of a mental health condition 

Thresholds Living Room Program – 24H/7D

How It Works

• Peer-led crisis respite center, an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization 
• The Living Room at Thresholds is a comfortable, safe, and quiet place for those experiencing a mental health crisis
• Staff at the Living Room help guests through a screening and assessment process in a natural, comfortable setting 
• Trauma-informed supports and interventions are available to help meet the needs of each individual

This model has been successful in preventing unnecessary hospitalizations that can be distressing & exacerbate mental health symptoms
