Which statement defines a crisis transition?

Crisis transitions are rapid changes to supports and services in response to events that threaten the participant’s health or safety, requiring immediate action to protect them. This means something has occurred that creates a risk and the plan must be adjusted right away to keep the person safe or well. It’s not about celebrating a birthday, which is a routine event, nor about budget constraints alone, since those are financial considerations rather than an urgent safety risk. It also isn’t simply about transportation, unless a safety threat exists that makes current transportation inadequate or dangerous. The emphasis is on risk to health or safety and urgent adjustments to supports.
