Crisis Services

The Psychiatric Crisis Service/Admissions Center Crisis Intervention Services (Mental Health)

The Crisis Intervention Service has a mobile team able to provide on-site assessments when it is impossible or impractical for the individual in need to come to the Mental Health Division.

The Psychiatric Crisis Service/Admissions Center provides 24/7 psychiatric emergency services including assessment, crisis intervention and medications.  The center has the capacity for client observation for up to 48 hours as needed.

A team of clinicians can be sent to a site to provide assessments, interventions or referrals.  The mobile team is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to midnight and on Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The Psychiatric Crisis Line (414-257-7222)

The Crisis Line is often the first point of contact with the mental health system for individuals in crisis and is the main access point for the mobile team services.  The Crisis Line is available 24/7 to provide immediate psychiatric crisis intervention services.  Services available include screening and assessment, crisis counseling and intervention, emergency service coordination and free referral information.

The Crisis Walk-In Center

The Crisis Walk-In Center is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.  The clinic serves uninsured Milwaukee County residents requesting psychiatric assessment, medications or community referrals.  New patients are seen in the order of their arrival.  There is a limit to how many new patients are seen daily based on prescriber availability, so plan to arrive prior to 9 a.m.  Be advised, the Walk-In Clinic is typically very busy so there may be a significant wait time.
