SUPPORTING RECOVERY AND RESTORING HOPE

"If you guys hadn't been there for me, I wouldn't be here today.  Thank you!" ~ CSU Customer

We’re here to help.  That’s what we do.

There’s a feeling you get knowing you have helped someone. Knowing that you have done something to make their life a little better. That you have helped them find support and comfort. Knowing that you have helped them become stronger and more stable. Knowing that you have used your abilities to help those in need. We’re lucky. We get those feelings every day. We are here for you and your family members.

The Crisis Support Unit’s home-like setting features five beds in four bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, laundry, bathroom and staff office.  We are designed to help people decrease emotional distress and avoid unnecessary hospitalizations.

Here are just some of the ways the Crisis Support Unit can help:

  • Provide a safe, comfortable treatment environment
  • Engage natural supports
  • Referrals to outpatient services
  • Medication management and assistance
  • Individual and group counseling
  • Wrap around care
  • Benefit application assistance

The Crisis Support Unit is a voluntary program funded by the Cowlitz County Human Services Department, with Federal Medicaid and State of Washington general funding.  Our caring staff includes a psychiatrist, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, medical assistants, certified nursing assistants, master’s level mental health professionals and residential specialists.  The Crisis Support Unit is licensed by the Washington State Department of Health, and the Department of Social and Health Services, Mental Health Division.
