This article focuses on Baltimore Crisis Response Inc. (BCRI), one of the crisis interventions centers in the state of Maryland receiving community mental health funds to care for the indigent. The crisis center is located in Baltimore, a city with a population of 651,154, approximately 64 percent of whom are African American. BCRI uses a 24-hour confidential hotline, a mobile treatment team and a 12-bed crisis residential unit to provide mental health and psychosocial seervices to residents in the Baltimore area. Regardless of status or previous training, on entering the organization all staff members participate in a required 40-hour in service orientation to the BCRI model. This includes lectures and participatory discussions, which integrate role playing and experimental exercises in the methods of crisis intervention as well as attendance in a three-hour class that focuses on interpersonal relationships between African Americans in workplace. This class examines the historical and contemporary legacy of racism in local and national mental health service delivery and its impact on the tratment of African Americans. It also focuses on the interface between socioeconomic status and race with an eye toward helping professionals understand how indigent people perceive them and helping professionals learn how to be nonjudgmental in working with poor people of color. |
