Postcrisis Follow-Up and Linkage to Community Services

During the postcrisis period, many individuals struggle to transition to available care, often falling through the cracks. This article discusses effective postcrisis approaches that provide rapid access to transitional team-based care using critical time intervention strategies. It also highlights the development of state, county, and funder models for "care-traffic control" to ensure swift linkage to follow-up services, along with new funding models that support intensive community crisis stabilization during the postcrisis period. Emerging crisis systems can leverage these emerging services and approaches to facilitate successful transitions for individuals in need.
