The Behavior Health Crisis Center provides support for individuals in crisis. Our facility provides individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis a safe place to get their immediate basic needs met (e.g. meal, shower, clean clothes) for up to 23 hours. Referrals can be made by law enforcement, EMS, hospitals and by walk-in. Their needs will be assessed and linked to services that are appropriate.

The Crisis Center is open for anyone:

• 18 years or older
• experiencing a behavioral health crisis
• that is ambulatory

The goal is to provide a safe and less costly alternative to getting help by diverting individuals from emergency rooms and jails during a behavioral health crisis. The services allow for crisis intervention, observation and stabilization while further working to connect the person to ongoing treatment and care. While it is not an “overnight” shelter,  participants may stay at the Crisis Center for up to 23 consecutive hours while staff works to connect them with ongoing support.

The CDC reports that 20% of people aged 55+ experience mental health issues. Access to structured programs can significantly help manage these concerns. We’ve developed a guide discussing mental health conditions in seniors and housing and care options.

This online resource for Seniors 55 and over provides information about mental health concerns for this population.  There are also links to help people find adequate support for their senior loved ones in the Franklin County Community.

The mission of Grace’s Place is to serve as a licensed emergency shelter for children and youth whose families are in crisis by
providing a loving and safe environment for children.  Programs include:

Crisis Care-  Crisis Care provides support to families who are encountering a situation which could lead to loss of employment, loss of shelter or a child’s basic needs going unmet – in addition to any situation that could potentially lead to a child being abused and/or neglected.

Respite Care-  Respite Care provides short-term support to families who are encountering high levels of parental stress.

Case Management-  Grace’s Place offers personalized case management services for families. We offer applicable resources for current situation and future referrals which will strengthen safety nets as families transition out of operating in a crisis state.
