Services Harbor Point Crisis Stabilization Residential Service
On July 1, 2021, Turning Pointe joined the Zion family and became known as Harbor Point. A bit of history: In the fall of 2015, Waubonsie Mental Health Center was awarded by the SWIA MHDS Region the proposal for a new service called Crisis Stabilization Residential Services. The program’s purpose is to support individuals in a mental health crisis and allow them to remain within the community instead of being admitted into inpatient acute care hospitalization. Turning Pointe opened its doors to southwest Iowa in January 2016, accepting referrals from Cass, Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Monona, Montgomery, Page, Pottawattamie, and Shelby counties as well as nearby regions. Anyone, including friends, family, emergency departments, and providers have the ability to make a referral 24 hours a day.
