Dufferin Situation Table

What is the Situation Table?

• The Situation Table is an evidence-based, risk driven collaborative intervention that assists individuals and families facing a situation of Acutely Elevated Risk
• Using a collaborative community mobilization model designed to get in front of the identified potential crisis it is a tool for service providers
• It is a brief and timely multi-agency response
•  
• What it is not

• It is not crisis response
• It is not meant to replace existing services like child protection, 911 response or referral to Here 24/7
• It is not case management and treatment planning
  
  Acutely Elevated Risk

• The probability exists that a situation will, without intervention, quickly escalate to the point of crisis
• The identified risk requires a multi-agency response
• The potential crisis is high risk and will negatively impact the individual, family and/or the community system
