Community Crisis Intervention Service (CCIS)

The Community Crisis Intervention Service (CCIS), is a community-led initiative, which responds to individuals who are observed to be in distress and potentially vulnerable, and who may be at risk of suicidal behaviour.

The service provides a timely (within approx. 30mins), non-clinical, community response to individuals experiencing social, emotional or situational crisis over a timeframe of:

  • Thursday, 8pm–Midnight
  • Friday, 6pm-3am
  • Saturday, 6pm-3am

The service will provide support and offer a short-term solution to manage immediate crisis, which will include risk assessment, de-escalation, and identification of personal support options (friends/family) and other appropriate support and treatment services.
