    Abstract:
    When individuals with a developmental disability experience a behavioral or psychiatric crisis, their community placement may be threatened. A model crisis intervention program for individuals with dual diagnoses was discussed and performance and outcomes of such a service for 267 children and adults reviewed. Analysis indicated that 69% of the individuals required only one crisis intervention. Of the 31% requiring two or more, nearly all were re-referred earlier than 2 years post initial crisis intervention. The central, gulf-bridging role of a crisis intervention service in a comprehensive, coordinated, community-based mental health system for dually diagnosed individuals was discussed.
