Community Stabilization

Wellbeing of Virginia provides Community Stabilization for adults in the community setting. Our Qualified Mental Health Professionals come to you in a place that is convenient and allows you the opportunity to work on your goals. 

Community Stabilization at Wellbeing of Virginia is support for adults struggling with acute crises of a psychiatric nature that may jeopardize their current community living situation or put them at risk of psychiatric hospitalization. 

This service’s objectives are to prevent the worsening of a mental health condition, to prevent injury to the client or others, and to provide treatment in the context of the least restrictive setting. 

The interventions provided during this service may include, but are not limited to:

• Averting psychiatric hospitalization or re-hospitalization by providing guided 1-1 support for up to 8 hours in one day, up to 15 days in a row, depending on insurance approval

• Providing living environments with a high assurance of safety and security by working with the identified client and identifying support for safety planning

• Stabilizing individuals in psychiatric crisis through short-term focused goals

• Mobilizing resources of the community support system, family members, and others for ongoing maintenance and rehabilitation

• Making referrals and linkages to longer-term services that will be in place after the identified crisis period to enhance overall well-being

To qualify for Community Stabilization Services, you or your loved one needs to be experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis that could result in hospitalization without these supports. 

• Those experiencing symptoms of depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, heightened anxiety and stress, or a similar mental health condition might be eligible. 

• Those experiencing chronic stressors such as homelessness, lack of employment, family discord, or anything that might enhance the symptoms of mental illness that could result in a person needing hospitalization are encouraged to reach out to discuss our Community Stabilization Services.
