Accessibility
IMPACT provides 24-hour, seven-days a week emergency response capability including psychiatric services. Face-to-face contacts with the enrolled consumer occur as frequent as are needed on an individual basis. Services are provided in locations other than the team office, such as, the consumer’s home, community settings, etc.

The IMPACT offices are centrally located and easily accessible through the public transportation services. The offices are handicap accessible at ground level, or through the use of ramps and handrails. Should the need arise for bilingual or sign language translation; we first try to get assistance from the consumers family or support system. If the client has limited supports, we will contact community translators, or contract with a translator to assist us to provide face-to-face services. We also contract with a phone translation service called "Language Line".

The Professional Team
Each team has a Physician, an RN, a Master’s Level Clinical Team Leader and a Bachelor Level Team Coordinator. The Community Advocates working on the teams may have a high school diploma up to a master’s degree. This interdisciplinary approach to the team make up provides a vast array of experience to serve those most in need. Additionally, individual staff are trained in many different areas of expertise to include: substance abuse, supported employment, forensic services and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
