In October 2021, the Department for Children and Families (DCF), launched our Family Mobile Crisis Helpline through Carelon. The helpline ensures Kansas children and young adults between 0-20 have access to a centralized comprehensive crisis system that anticipates their needs and provides recovery-focused interventions in all phases of the crisis continuum. The crisis is defined by the person calling and includes on-the-phone or in-person rapid community-based mobile crisis intervention services. The helpline provides 24 hour a day, seven days a week access to assessment and screening, and up to eight weeks of stabilization services and connection to community-based referrals and services.
