It outlines essential components of an ideal continuum of community behavioral health crisis services and provides benchmarks for service volume based on population size. Emphasizing the importance of proximity to services, it offers guidance tailored to small, medium, and large counties or regions, recommending collaborative planning for comprehensive crisis response systems within a one-hour drive.Includes specific insights and recommendations for meeting the BH needs of populations of small (less than 150,000), medium (up to 300,000) and large (>300,000) areas.
