What can you expect when you call the Network?

We are here to help. Once you contact the crisis line, you will be connected to a PCCN staff member who will ask you some questions to understand what you are concerned about and what supports you might need in your current situation. We will listen to what you have to say. Depending on your specific needs, he/she will then work with you, and if appropriate, any service providers with whom you are already working, to help resolve your immediate concerns, and/or suggest and help you connect with other community services that could be helpful to you.

Upon making a referral, if more intensive support is needed in stabilizing crisis, PCCN may come out to meet with you to complete an assessment to further determine appropriateness for our service and gather necessary information to provide supports.

PCCN will develop an individualized support plan and work with you to implement the plan alongside community service providers in order to secure admission to appropriate and available Network services.
