As part of its expansion into becoming a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic, 萝莉视频, Inc. has expanded its mobile crisis services to Sullivan County.
HCI has operated a mobile crisis unit from its main office in Terre Haute for the past four years.
Lesli Bose, HCI鈥檚 director of crisis diversion, said the Sullivan office was chosen for the expansion due to the county鈥檚 high suicide completion rate.
The mobile crisis unit currently operates from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but Bose said once the facility is fully staffed it will run 24 hours a day, seven days per week.
Incoming calls will serve a 45-mile area surrounding Sullivan.
Bose noted the Sullivan office has a mini-van dedicated to these runs, and lack of transportation to the HCI office is one primary reason for the need of the service.
鈥淪ome people don鈥檛 have transportation, especially a lot of individuals that are in rural areas,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 quite a long way for some of them to get to an office when we鈥檙e talking about the area that we鈥檙e serving. The unit allows our team to go to wherever they are. Sometimes they鈥檙e out in the public at grocery stores or at a park, but a lot of times they鈥檙e at home.鈥�
Bose noted the primary goal of the team is to de-escalate that crisis on scene and provide support and intervention resources.
鈥淲e hope to be able to resolve that crisis in the community,鈥� Bose said. 鈥淚f not, then they can provide assessment on-site or bring them back to an office if there鈥檚 not an appropriate location for them to be assessed in the community.鈥�
Depending on the location, bringing the individual back to an office may happen if there is nowhere private to assess the person.
鈥淥therwise, they will provide that assessment in the field, and then they can determine along with the prescriber the appropriate level of care and then get them to a higher level of care if that鈥檚 what鈥檚 recommended,鈥� she said.
Increased awareness of the program will allow it to grow as time passes, and Bose thinks it has been successful so far.
鈥淲e have been able to help some of the community partners there in the schools,鈥� she noted. 鈥淲e鈥檝e had some other runs within the Sullivan community. It is slowly developing, but they鈥檝e been successful in being able to get people served that aren鈥檛 able to come into offices.鈥�
Bose said that 10 more staff members are needed to reach the around the clock goal for the mobile crisis unit. Anyone interested is encouraged to visit hamiltoncenter.org/employment to learn more about the positions and fill out an application.
Bose emphasized the importance of peer recovery specialists (staff members who are successfully in recovery) in the process of helping consumers.
鈥淧eer recovery specialists are really effective since they鈥檙e able to provide lived experience themselves with mental health and or substance use,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hey鈥檝e been very helpful in engaging consumers, building rapport with them, increasing their motivation for change or to engage in treatment. The peers have been very, very beneficial to our team.鈥�
Rose Shepler, health educator for the Sullivan County Health Department, is thrilled with the expansion of the mobile crisis unit and thinks it will be highly beneficial for the Sullivan County community.
鈥淚 think it鈥檚 a great idea and very much needed,鈥� she said. 鈥淪ullivan County would benefit from resources that help to decrease successful suicide rates. Indiana鈥檚 average is actually higher than the national average, and Sullivan County specifically is higher than Indiana鈥檚 average.鈥�
Shepler noted that Sullivan County has also taken steps itself to help with the problem, opting in for the Health First Indiana initiative. This legislation was passed in 2023 and prioritizes core services in a fatality review of children, suicide, and overdose.
鈥淚n thinking about the unit, a lot of times our law enforcement officers are responding to a mental health crisis situation and they may lack the resources to support someone in crisis,鈥� she said. 鈥溌芾蚴悠碘�檚 mobile crisis will be a valuable asset to provide that needed care and support for people in crisis.鈥�
