Emergency Services (Crisis Services) is a collaborative effort between Northwest Connections (NWC) crisis workers, consumers, community members, law enforcement, county personnel, contracted agencies, and community providers to coordinate an immediate response to assist a person experiencing a crisis.
NWC recognizes the importance of empowerment and person-centered interventions. The principles of respect, support, and least restrictive treatment guide our interventions. NWC draws on the strengths and coping a person, and work to develop healthy coping in conjunction with the development of natural support systems. Crisis is an opportunity to effect change in an individual’s natural environment.
