Mental health crisis services must be operational 24/7/365 to support communities, even during an emergency or severe weather event. Without effective communication, continuity of care can be compromised.
For Integral Care, the authority on local mental health and developmental disabilities in Austin, Texas, communication is the key to protecting employees and keeping vital programs up and running, no matter what.
In this episode, Teresa Williams, Director of Clinical Services, and David West, Associate Director of Integrated Systems of Care at Integral Care, share: 
The benefits of adopting a plain language system for emergency response 
Why communication should be a continuous area of improvement
How Integral Care supports staff through a Workforce Quality and Satisfaction Committee 
The importance of building employee competence and confidence through trainings
