The Crisis Observation Center (COC) is open to clients 18 years of age or older who are experiencing psychiatric/psychological stress which does not require hospitalization. The COC provides a safe, calm environment where individuals can meet with a nurse and therapist, and if needed, receive assistance setting up mental health appointments and services. The COC staff may also coordinate an assessment by a mental health medication provider, if appropriate. COC Clients must be able to maintain safe behaviors while at the COC, be able to provide their own basic hygiene, be medically stable, and willing to work with staff on intake and discharge planning.
