Stride Crisis Center

A Compassionate Alternative to Emergency Departments and Jails

Stride Crisis Centers serve as an alternative to the hospital emergency department or jail, connecting individuals in crisis with essential mental health services and recovery resources. Our goal is to provide a calm, supportive environment to help de-escalate the situation and connect guests to the right treatment options and resources in their community.

Crisis Services for Mental Health & Substance Use

We understand that many individuals facing a crisis may only have the options of hospitalization or incarceration. At Stride, we provide a safe, calm place to de-escalate, along with immediate access to professional support. We offer:

• Trained crisis mental health specialists
• Triage and crisis intervention
• Certified peer support professionals
• Harm reduction education, including Naloxone (NARCAN)
• Referrals to treatment options, including inpatient care for mental health or substance use
• Connections to shelters, food, clothing, and other essential community resources

Stride Centers provide diversion for individuals for up to 23 hours.

Mobile Crisis Support

In addition to our center-based services, we offer mobile crisis intervention, bringing trained professionals directly to individuals in need. This allows us to provide immediate support in the community, further ensuring that people can access the help they need in a timely manner.

Our Approach to Care

At Stride, we prioritize harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and crisis intervention. We are open 24/7, providing a welcoming and safe environment where individuals can stay for up to 23 hours per visit. Repeat visits are welcome, ensuring continuous support as needed.

We also specialize in suicide prevention and overdose prevention, providing critical interventions and support to those in need. During their stay, guests have access to:

• One-on-one consultations with professional staff
• Support and care tailored to individual needs
• A safe space to relax, have a snack, and take a shower
• Resources and information about further treatment options
