Dear friends,

As of July 1, 2011, the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities has implemented  a new system of care for individuals with developmental disabilities who are experiencing a behavior related crisis. We encourage you to take the time to familiarize yourself with this new system and to pass this information within your networks. The link below will outline what caregivers should do in a crisis situation, the role of the mobile crisis team, and the support services that will be available for individuals in crisis.

For an overview of the Georgia Crisis Response system, click www.ddcrisis.com

Sincerely,

Rita Young
Director of Public Policy and Education
