Registered Nurse, Behavioral Health Crisis Services

Bring Your Nursing Expertise to Behavioral Health Crisis Care

The Centers is launching the Behavioral Health Crisis Centers (BHCC) this September, an innovative state-of-the-art facility designed to expand access to immediate trauma-informed support for adults experiencing mental health or substance use crises. Our walk-in 24/7 crisis model will offer people a safe, welcoming alternative to emergency rooms, jail, or the streets while providing rapid assessment, stabilization, and connection to ongoing care.

The BHCC brings together a full continuum of services across three floors, including crisis care, stabilization, and ongoing behavioral health and primary care supports through our Health Center programs.
