START Clinical Services
START (Systemic, Therapeutic, Assessment, Respite and Treatment)
provides community-based, proactive crisis intervention services
and crisis prevention planning for individuals who are dually
diagnosed with developmental and psychiatric disabilities.
START clinicians provide proactive crisis intervention
services through clinical consultation.
In addition, the development of crisis prevention
plans is a major focus of our work. The purpose of a plan
is to assist providers in intervening proactively in order
to avoid the need for accessing emergency services, and to
prevent unnecessary inpatient hospitalizations. The Massachusetts
Department of Mental Retardation (DMR) funds START Clinical
Services, and is the sole referral source for these services.
The START team is uniquely qualified to provide
consultation, education, evaluation, crisis plan development,
intervention, behavioral-treatment planning and direct support
for this population.
START Respite Services
START Respite provides a therapeutic environment in which
short-term treatment and assessment, emergency and planned
respite services are provided. The respite center can accommodate
up to six individuals, and provides around-the-clock staffing.
Although the program is designed for short-term stays, the
length of respite can vary greatly depending upon the needs
of the individual.
