Rapid Response
Crisis Homes
Brief treatment, structure, and supervision to children
Providing relief in the time of need
At Alexander Youth Network, our Rapid Response Crisis Homes offer brief treatment, structure, and supervision to children facing mental and behavioral challenges. This periodic service is provided during emergency situations and can also provide temporary relief to primary caregivers, who may experience stress while managing their child’s treatment.
Through Rapid Response, our certified team works with children and families to promote growth and healing, provide improved home stability, and decreased hospital admissions.
