1. This handbook and additional resources are not for use during a crisis but are meant to avert or mitigate a crisis. If you are currently experiencing a life-threatening crisis, please dial 911.

2. The term Complex Severe Behavioral Health Conditions does not refer to individuals who are in continual crisis as a result of their significant disabilities and behaviors. Children and adults who experience ongoing severe and complex conditions may require stabilization and/or hospitalization that are not addressed in this Handbook since this population requires much more individualized attention within our service systems.
