crisis intervention. Our goal is to
intervene in crisis situations as skillfully and quickly as possible to stop
ineffective behaviors and return people to their level of coping
before the crisis. While our telephone counselors remain in the center to
consult over the phone, we also offer mobile crisis counselors who will see people anywhere
in Brown, Shawano or Sheboygan County.
