When you only get called in for a crisis

When the call only comes at the crisis point, nobody has much capacity left. Kelli McDermott and Julia Sayles start with who made the referral and what they were told you're there to do. Julia then makes the case that "wait and see" is the best time to bring a consultant in. The free poster from this session helps a program recognize that moment for itself.
