Join us for a FREE Lunch & Learn on crisis stabilization on May 6!

In this virtual session, Josh Burke will provide an overview of what a crisis stabilization stay looks like—from arrival and supportive interventions to length of stay and post-crisis follow-up planning. By the end of this session, participants will be able to identify key components of post-crisis follow-up, explain what to say during a crisis stay, and more!

About the Speaker:

With over a decade of experience in community mental health and crisis service innovation, his work focuses on creating trauma-informed, person-centered alternatives to reliance on emergency departments. Josh also maintains a psychotherapy practice and is active in community support roles in the Northeast Kingdom, where he lives with his family.
