  I perform emergency assessments for client’s risk to themselves or others for suicidal or homicidal ideation. I function as a consultant for UVM Medical Center clients in the emergency department and work as a first responder for mental health crisis across the county. I triage the crisis hotline, discern diagnoses, form clinical impressions, consult with psychiatrists, and recommend next steps for individuals in need. This often includes making referrals for inpatient admission, referring clients to a variety of different voluntary programs across VT, creating safety plans, coordinating with external providers, aiding in emergency examinations for involuntary hospitalization, and forming case presentations to psychiatry at the University of Vermont Medical Center.
