Community Service Board of Middle Georgia (CSBMG) is a recognized state leader in comprehensive behavioral healthcare, providing integrated cost-effective services for youth, young adults, adults, and seniors that build resilience and restore daily functioning. With funding, CSBMG will work with the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities to meet CCBHC requirements, increasing access to and improving the quality of community mental and substance use disorder treatment services in rural Middle Georgia.

CSBMG will launch a new Crisis Transition Stations for youth. This will create new opportunities for youth and young adults to remain safe while awaiting transition to CSUs or for observation until the crisis dissipates and youth can transition home. During transition, youth, young adults, and families will be provided crisis evaluation and observation, and peer support.

Youth and young adults are often waiting 48 hours for acceptance at a CSU. Crisis Transition Stations will provide safety and comfort along with access to ongoing assessment and MD/nursing services as needed, including medication administration when ordered. Crisis Transition Stations will serve SED, SMI, and co-occurring youth and young adults.

Other options to ensure an individual's safety include hospitalization for observation, evaluation, or inpatient treatment. Ongoing education and skill-building opportunities are provided to clients and their family members to reduce further incidents of crisis.

There is a desperate need for these services, and CSB of Middle Georgia is the comprehensive core provider focused on the behavioral health community. Over four years, 1,800 individuals will be served (300 year one, 400 year two, 500 year three, 600 year four).
