In Idaho Falls, the doors of the Behavioral Health Community Crisis Center of East Idaho have only been open for a little over a month. But already, it's having an impact. "We have family members bring in people, [asking us] 'Can you help them? Because we really love them,'" says Brenda Price, the crisis center's coordinator. "We had a father bring in his grown daughter, [telling her] 'I'm going to take care of your kids, because you've just been depressed too long.'" Stays at the Crisis Center are voluntary and limited to 24 hours. Yet in that time, the center's experts help them weather the roughest moments, develop a recovery plan and connect with the right community support systems/Daniel Walters, Inlander. More here.
