In circumstances where an individual is required to have a mental health/safety assessment completed to return to school or work, a Crisis Assessment can eliminate a long and uncomfortable wait in a local emergency department or crisis center. A Crisis Assessment can be scheduled relatively quickly (usually the same day) and conducted in person or virtually, allowing individuals and families to decrease prolonged discomfort and facilitate a return to normal life as soon as possible. As part of the Crisis Assessment process, Todd makes recommendations regarding appropriateness for return to work/school, support implementation upon return and reintegration into school/place of employment, as well as follow-up care and referrals as necessary.
