to the care you need.

Crisis Care

The onset of a crisis may occur suddenly without warning or build slowly over a long period of time. No matter the cause, a person in crisis needs immediate and careful attention. Porter-Starke Services provides a range of care and treatment designed specifically to help people experiencing a crisis.
Crisis Services
Crisis Center

The Crisis Center provides both adults and youth short-term observation and care (up to 24 hours) in a less restrictive setting than a psychiatric hospital. The center, which is open 24/7 and accepts walk-ins, offers a calming place to assess for care, peer and crisis support, and mental health or medical care before potential referral to outpatient, inpatient, or crisis stabilization services. 

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call the 24/7 Crisis Line at 219.476.4523 or come directly to the Crisis Center, located at 2301 Cumberland Drive in Valparaiso.

Emergency Services

Our Emergency Services team provides assessments for people admitted to local hospitals and emergency rooms who may be experiencing a mental health crisis. This team is also available by phone or walk-in during normal business hours, and can recommend a course of treatment that may include inpatient or outpatient care.

Inpatient Care Center
Inpatient Care Center provides adults (18 years and older) who are experiencing a mental, emotional, or behavioral episode or crisis with acute psychiatric and therapeutic care in a secured setting. Available 24/7/365, this short-term care option serves up to 16 people and upon discharge, includes planning for outpatient aftercare and services.
Mobile Crisis Team

The Porter-Starke Services Mobile Crisis Team responds to crises out in the community. Our team of mental health professionals arrive to assess the situation, offer support, provide immediate care, and connect people with other programs, treatment, or social services. Responding to people where they are enables the Mobile Crisis Team to help de-escalate situations, build rapport, and prevent medically unnecessary hospital visits or legal charges.
