CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICE

The Crisis Intervention Service offers young people who are at immediate risk of out of home placement, a rapid response to support them in an emergency. YAP can provide an advocate, within 48 hours though often more quickly, to support the young person whether in the home or in temporary placement and engage them in meaningful activity to reduce further risk.

Sometimes these young people will benefit from a longer length of service and are transferred onto the YAP Ireland Main Intensive Support programme for up to 6 months.
