Support when you need it most.
Crisis can strike anyone, any time. When it does, Kitsap Mental Health Services is here to help. Working with the Volunteers of America through their crisis call line, we provide immediate intervention for people experiencing a behavioral health crisis.
If you or someone you know is in a behavioral health crisis, professionals answering the 24/7 Volunteers of America Crisis Call Line at 1-888-910-0416 provide a listening ear and will determine the level of crisis services needed. Depending on the level of need, this may include dispatching the KMHS Mobile Crisis Outreach Team for emergency assessment, including referrals to inpatient care, which may include, if necessary, involuntary detention in our evaluation and treatment center or other psychiatric facility or substance use treatment facility. Outreach team members assist people in crisis with the least restrictive services needed to support them in their recovery.
In addition to inpatient treatment for children and adults, KMHS 24/7 crisis services also include a voluntary short term (up to 5 day) crisis triage center for adults, and longer stay mental health and substance use residential treatment services. Our various levels of crisis care may be what you or someone you care about needs.
Less than 20% of children and adolescents with diagnosable mental health problems receive the treatment they need.
