As the state grapples with increasing mental health needs, a new facility moved Birmingham one step closer to being able to provide more care space. “Cutting the ribbon on this Craig Crisis Center here in Birmingham, it’s a game changer,” said Gov. Ivey.
“Cutting the ribbon on this Craig Crisis Center here in Birmingham, it’s a game changer,” said Gov. Ivey. “…This was truly a community outpouring of support and that means a lot when you’re trying to come up with a new way to provide needed care service.”
Craig said that his long-term effort to obtain a place for those in mental health crisis to go besides jail or the ER was only made possible through extensive support from both the Birmingham community and the state. Since 2020 Ivey has announced the funding of six mental health crisis centers in total across the state. This is the fourth one that has been constructed so far along with similar centers in Mobile, Huntsville, and Montgomery. The final two were announced by Ivey last May and will be located in Tuscaloosa and Dothan.
Dr. Sabrina Scott was named executive director of the Craig Crisis Care center last February and comes to the position with 15 years of clinical and managerial experience according to the JBS website.
