We are very excited to share that our team will soon implement the new Youth Stabilization, Opportunity & Support (S.O.S.) Team.
The Youth Stabilization, Opportunity, & Support (S.O.S.) Team is designed to respond within 24 hours in the community to any location where youth (ages 0-25) may be in mental health crisis, provide 24/7 immediate in-person response to current and former youth in foster care, and community awareness and psychoeducation about mental health crisis, suicide prevention and response services. The Youth S.O.S. Team will incorporate trauma-informed, cultural responsiveness and best practice approaches for safety assessment and crisis intervention, brief counseling, family supports, linkages and warm hand-offs, transition clients to the most appropriate level or care as determined by clinical assessment. StarVista will hire teams composed of Clinicians and Family Partners with the goal of providing a holistic response to any crisis to address both the acute needs as well as provide ongoing resources and support to the youth and their family.
