Resumen

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.
