Benefits of “in-house” Crisis Team
Ready and Immediate
People in crisis need on-scene, stabilizing support ASAP. Crisis support teams are trained and organized to mobilize as soon as the call comes in.
Built-in Rapport
Crisis teams consist of vetted and trained employees within the organization. Trust and rapport is often easier to establish when it’s “your own” people responding.
Cost-Saving
Since team members are volunteers, training is the bulk of costs associated with this program. However, research shows that a caring, supportive response reduces healthcare costs.
