Special Note to Providers
If you
call Phone Help to request a face-to-face assessment, please
be prepared to provide the consumer’s name, age, presenting
problem, safety issues and any other demographics and/or
history that might be helpful.
Your
cooperation will assist the consumer in receiving the most
safe, efficient and effective services.
Some
consumers who might benefit from Phone Help are hesitant
about using a telephone. It may help to have the consumer
call Phone Help from the provider’s office when they are not
in crisis. This can be an easier way for someone to get to
know Phone Help and to understand what to expect when they
need to call.
A
representative from Phone Help is available to come to your
agency to answer questions and explain Phone Help services.
Just
give us a call!
