DANVILLE — Teams that foster collaboration among proper organizations and individuals are effective in responding to people in crisis.
According to a panel of experts at the Geisinger-sponsored community conference on crisis care held at the Pine Barn Inn in Danville on Thursday, crisis intervention teams are a critical tool that can bring together first responders, law enforcement, community and social services and other behavioral health organizations to aid those in need.
