Psychiatric
Nursing Services
Alternatives in Psychological
Consultation,
S.C. currently serves the Milwaukee County Detention Center by providing
80 hours per week of Psychiatric Nursing Services. The nurses employed
and supervised by Alternatives have worked within the Detention Center
since 1998. Safety of youth at the Milwaukee County Detention Center is a
primary concern of our nursing staff. Upon intake within the detention
setting the psychiatric nurses provide a mental health screening to
determine if youth are in need of immediate treatment. Nurses provide
ongoing assessment, intervention, referral, and support to meet the
mental health needs of youth within the detention milieu.
