Crisis Triage Services  

Crisis Triage Services (CTS) is a component of Spokane Mental Health's Crisis Response Services. CTS is designed to assist individuals with serious and persistent mental illnesses who experience periodic recurrences of their illness and who may be at risk for psychiatric hospitalization unless immediate crisis intervention services are provided.

While at CTS, individuals will have access to:

• A safe and quiet environment;
• Well balanced meals;
• Staff who will assist in accessing community services for on-going stabilization;
• Psychiatric nursing assessment;
• Medication monitoring;
• Active and supportive listening;
• Crisis intervention services;
• Referral to mental health and/or chemical dependency treatment if eligibility requirements are met;
