Vivi
Vivi helped care for her three younger siblings after her mother died when she was 11. When her father also died from a sudden heart attack, the four siblings ranging in age from 11 to 20 were all alone. She contacted OC Links for resources and was connected to a peer mentorship program that helped provide support to her and her family.
Juliana & Uziel
After Juliana was called to meet with her son’s elementary school principal for the fifth time due to anger outbursts, the school contacted OC Links for a mobile crisis response. The Mobile Crisis Team responding helped link the youth to outpatient mental health services. Through participation in the program, Uziel improved his behavior considerably.
Steve
For Steve, quitting alcohol and prescription pills made his mental health symptoms more pronounced and was experiencing difficulty in performing his daily functioning. Steve contacted OC Links and spoke to a Navigator about his situation. It was determined that Steve’s situation required an in-person response, and a mobile crisis team was dispatched to his location. Steve was evaluated and linked to a Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) to further address his mental health needs.
