What does a crisis look like? It’s up to youth and their families to define that answer. One thing, however, is for sure: Crisis is never convenient. Crises don’t pick the most opportune time and place to strike, and so for any help to be effective, it needs to be flexible – and in many cases, mobile. When your brain goes off the tracks, getting help is much more feasible if someone can come to you… someone like Compass Health Program Manager Rick Deluga. Students in Nathan Hale High’s Podcast Club sat with Rick to discuss how he got into this unique line of work of mobile crisis care, explore what crisis can look like, and identify actionable ways to get help when and where it’s most urgently needed.
