School crisis response

Community Hospital’s behavioral care staff participates with several mental health organizations in Marion County on a school crisis response team. This team is composed of trained volunteers from various participating agencies, and services are provided at no cost to the schools served upon their request.

Volunteers provide crisis debriefing, education and consultation to school-age children and adolescents, teachers and school administrators. Services are provided at the school or another pre-arranged site such as a church or community center.
