About oscER San Diego
Organized Support Companion in an Emergency Situation
Information. Resources. Peace of Mind.
If you or a loved one has a mental health crisis or struggles with substance abuse, do you know what to do, where to go and how to get help? Now you do. With the Organized Support Companion in an Emergency Situation App (oscER), you have resources right at your fingertips at the time when you need them most.
oscER is your guide to navigating psychiatric crisis situations in San Diego County, including:
-Clear content on what to do Before, During and After a psychiatric crisis
-Clear content on Substance Use Disorder, including an Overview section, plus information on insurance (e.g. Drug Medi-Cal) and intervention.
-Maps and phone numbers for walk-in centers, ERs and psychiatric hospitals
-Professional answers about diagnoses, legal issues, treatment
-Food, shelter and legal aid resources
-Education about mental health disorders, as well as professional trainings available (e.g. for Naloxone administration)
-Crisis line information
-LGBTQIA resources
-Glossaries of terms and acronyms that are context-senstive
-Spanish version
With oscER, you can get information on:
-Talking to emergency personnel
-Understanding diagnoses
-Arranging inpatient or housing placement afterwards
-Finding legal aid
-Understanding what their loved one is experiencing
-Managing stress during the crisis
When it comes to a psychiatric crisis, time is of the essence and knowledge is key. With oscER on your phone, tablet or computer, there is one less thing to be concerned about and one more reason to stay focused on the task at hand - getting help effectively and expediently.
You don't have to be in a crisis to benefit from oscER
It is good to educate the whole family beforehand on different types of mental illnesses, warning signs of suicide, common signs of relapse, what happens when you call 911, getting a correct diagnosis, and so much more...and it is all within a key tap or finger swipe.
Prevention and intervention tools are key to avoiding a mental health emergency, or to help deescalate a tense situation. You will find soothing music and soundscapes in the oscER app to aid you in attaining rest and relaxation whenever you need it. Choose from a continuous loop of these sounds:
-Rain Forest
-Flute Music
-Ocean Surf
-Song Birds
Let oscER be there for you during a time of need!
Some privacy please
Sometimes mental illness is a sensitive subject to talk or think about. The oscER app lets you peruse mental health information in the privacy of your own time and in your own way. With the resources it offers, you will feel less alone and more connected to the world of information and support available in San Diego.
NAMI San Diego makes it happen
