What is a Mental Health Crisis?

Crisis does not have a universal definition, what crisis means to each person is unique.We are exploring the crisis we see in daily life and how crisis falls outside of stereotypical expectations. The episode’s special guest is Corey Hunter, Pawnee Mental Health’s Crisis Operations Manager. Corey manages crisis, both in the field and behind the doors of Pawnee’s Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU). He will help us navigate what crisis means, breaking the stigma, and how those in crisis can receive care and support.Have questions, thoughts, or stories you want to share?
