ABSTRACT
Traditional forms of psychiatric crisis treatment increasingly are being buttressed by services along the Psychiatric Crisis Continuum of Care, such as short-term crisis stabilization services and peer crisis services. The UT Health Living Room (LR) is an outpatient crisis counseling service that adds three promising elements to the Continuum (1) it integrates outpatient treatment plans into crisis counseling, (2) provides care in a space and with staff who are familiar to patients, and (3) provides training in evidence-based crisis intervention. We examined two-year LR feasibility and outcome data. Mixed-method analyses used longitudinal clinic data and patient self-report measures. Results provide initial support for the feasibility, cost effectiveness and clinical effectiveness of the LR. Limitations include non-blinded ratings, limited experimental control, and simple cost-effectiveness methodology. The UT Living Room is feasible and offers novel elements to help patients in community clinics address emotional crises.
