Sub-Acute Crisis Stabilization (SACS)

The SACS program is a short-term residential stabilization service for youth ages 5-18 years old who are working through a mental health crisis. At SACS, trained staff support the stabilization of both youth and their family by providing:

  • Individual, family and group therapy
  • Psychiatric consultation and medication management
  • Safety and stabilization support
  • Skills development for parents and youth
  • Care coordination

While youth are in care, SACS assists with:

  • Food and nutrition
  • Hygiene items
  • Family engagement and support

Youth can stay in the program up to 14 days, with shorter stay options available. Acceptance into the program is contingent on availability and appropriateness.
