This includes safety planning, coping skills training to promote recovery, linkage to mental health professionals for long-term care, coordination with other providers and linkage with community resources to promote stability.

• Experiencing difficulty in establishing and maintaining normal interpersonal relationships to such a degree that the individual is at risk for psychiatric hospitalization, homelessness or isolation from social supports
• Experiencing difficulty in activities of daily living such as maintaining personal hygiene, preparing food and maintaining adequate nutrition, or managing finances to such a degree that health or safety is jeopardized
• Exhibiting such inappropriate behavior that immediate interventions by mental health, social services or the judicial system are or have been necessary
• Exhibiting difficulty in cognitive ability such that the individual is unable to recognize personal danger or significantly inappropriate behavior
