• The LMHP conducts face-to-face and telemedicine crisis assessments with patients to determine their specific needs. Patients in crisis may require immediate referral to medical services, assistance with concrete needs, such as food and clothing, or they may be in a state of psychological shock and require psychiatric intervention through inpatient admission.
• Patients in crisis often enter a state of psychological shock and withdrawal as a way of handling the aftermath of the disaster or crisis situation. They may be momentarily unable to arrange for their immediate needs. The LMHP provides temporary forms of advocacy to help clients meet these needs and may include explaining the patient's needs to multiple service providers. The goal of the LMHP is to help patients regain sufficient levels of functioning so that they are able to resume advocating for themselves.
• Providing accurate and timely referrals is another important responsibility of the LMHP. They must know the state of Illinois and Iowa's admission criteria for inpatient psychiatric services, and often mentor clinicians within the agency about the patient's mental health rights according to the state's mental health codes.
