The best possible mental health recovery requires attention to all aspects of your health.
You are complex, unique, and interconnected from head to toe. You are a "whole" human being — not a medical condition or a mental health diagnosis. You are not alone, and you are not powerless.

In a 911 emergency you may request a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) officer.
These officers are trained to recognize and de-escalate mental health crises.
COMMUNITY AND YOUTH OUTREACH UNIT
Blue Springs, the CIT department also has a Community and Youth Outreach Unit that provides crisis intervention and referrals for youth and partners with the Blue Springs School District.
Counseling is open to individuals, families or groups and addresses a range of issues in an attempt to start the recovery process. Youth are usually referred by police officers after criminal offenses but can also be referred by school counselors or concerned family. CYOU also offers assistance for short-term and long-term issues through crisis intervention and referrals to specialists throughout the Greater Kansas City Area.
