infrastructure needed to support a best-in-class behavioral health
system and ensures all DuPage County residents will have "someone
to call, someone to respond, and somewhere to go" when experiencing
a mental health or substance use crisis. The CRC will help
residents de-escalate, stabilize, and connect to community
resources catered to their individual mental health and substance
use treatment needs. The building design and operations will ensure
individuals and their families feel welcome, respected, and secure
throughout every step of their care. The CRC serves as an
alternative to hospital emergency departments and simplifies access
to crisis care for all individuals, families, and first responders.
