Intensive Crisis Stabilization (ICS) for youth provides quick, short-term help for kids and young adults aged 0-21 going through a serious emotional or behavioral crisis. When a crisis occurs, Summit Pointe sends trained professionals to the youth’s home, school, or another familiar place to
help calm the situation and avoid going to the hospital. A team from Summit Pointe evaluates the young person’s mental health and makes a personalized plan to reduce risks and bring emotional stability We offer short-term therapy and strategies to help the youth manage the crisis, while also involving the family in the process.
ICS focuses on keeping kids in safe, familiar environments while working through their crisis, helping reduce stress and speed up recovery The Summit Pointe team works closely with the family or guardian(s), providing guidance and training on how to support the child during and after the crisis.
After the crisis is under control, the youth is connected to ongoing mental health services, like therapy or counseling, to help them stay healthy in the long run. This approach ensures a supportive and safe space for the youth while promoting long-term mental health and preventing future crises.
