Crisis Resource Centers (CRCs) are community-based psychiatric crisis-intervention programs that provide recovery-focused assessment, stabilization, psychosocial groups and peer support. The CRCs are an innovative, highly personalized response to people experiencing a crisis precipitated by mental illness, substance abuse or the challenges of living in hard economic times. The CRCs are a 24/7 community based alternative to an emergency room or inpatient hospitalization.
In 2021, the Centers for Independence opened a third Crisis Resource Center, or CRC, joining its two other Milwaukee locations.
