7 <br /> THE NEED <br /> • In 2019 Orange County held Sequential Intercept Mapping and Taking Action for Change <br /> Workshops (referred collectively to as SIM Workshop). <br /> • SIM Workshop participants included community stakeholders who routinely respond to <br /> Behavioral Health (BH) crises. BH includes mental health, serious and persistent mental <br /> illness, IDD and substance use disorders. <br /> • Workshop participants identified gaps in our BH Crisis Continuum of Care and developed <br /> an action plan to address these gaps. <br /> • Action plan includes a high priority need for a 24/7/365 Crisis-Diversion Center for walk-ins <br /> and diversions from the emergency room and Detention Center. <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br />
