A Day in the Life

As a member of KMHS’s Youth Mobile Crisis Outreach Team, Stephanie Powers never knows what the day will bring. She may respond to a person in crisis over the phone or visit them at home or school to de-escalate the situation, ensure the person’s safety and connect them with resources.

“It’s never straightforward,” she says. “It’s a very abstract job.”
