• Kaiser Permanente Crisis Residential Services
  In partnership with Kaiser Permanente, Anka has developed a model of crisis intervention using a 5-7 day model. As an alternative to hospitalization, individuals are provided opportunities to focus on resolving the current crisis and developing the skills necessary to reduce the likelihood of future crisis events. The goal is to engage the individual and their family, when possible, in the recovery process to resolve the behavioral, cognitive, or emotional issues that led to the crisis. This is achieved by providing a variety of therapeutic services including individual and group psychotherapy, art and psycho-educational group activities, and psychiatric and medication supports.
  
  
• Intellectual Disabilities
  Anka has developed a crisis residential model for children and adults experiencing a behavioral or psychiatric emergency that places them at risk of losing their community placement or is resulting in self-injurious or dangerous behaviors towards others. Through the use of an interdisciplinary team, the goal is to discover the underlying causes of the crisis behaviors and assist the consumer in learning safer and more adaptive ways of expressing control and communicating their needs and preferences.
