The Access team is the single point of entry for most adult consumers, and behavioral health referrals for children.  The function of the Team is to provide simple, timely access to mental health and substance abuse services including crisis services to adults and children in central Indiana. This includes face-to-face assessments, telephone triage, scheduling and referral to other teams and referrals to other agencies when appropriate. The Access team takes telephone crisis calls and provides triage and intervention with callers in crisis on a twenty-four-hour basis seven days a week. The team provides face-to-face crisis assessments in the daytime Monday through Friday, and any face-to-face assessments needed after-hours or on weekends, is provided through the Community North Crisis Team.
