A Correction on
Beyond one-size-fits-all: managing mental health calls with the integrated Behavioral Emergency Assessment and Response (iBEAR) model

by Zaiser, B., Staller, M. S., and Koerner, S. (2025). Front. Psychol. 16:1585009. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2025.1585009

There was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. The grey text box outlining behaviors associated with “CI” was inadvertently located in the area of “BM” and vice-versa. In addition, figure one states “BM” instead of SBM, as stated in the text. The corrected Figure 1, where the grey text box starting with “suicidal behaviors” is associated with “CI” and the text box starting with “instrumental suicidal behavior” is associated with “SBM”, as well as where “BM” has been substituted with “SBM”, appears below.

Figure 1
Figure illustrates how the iBEAR model guides response by first ensuring safety, before assessing whether the behaviour reflects a crisis or a maladaptive coping pattern. Depending on this assessment, responders follow one of three paths: immediate CI (arrow 1), direct application of SBM (arrow 2), or a combined response where CI is used first to stabilize the individual, followed by SBM to address ongoing behavioural patterns (arrow 3). In each case, the ultimate goal is to support either transfer to acute care or reintegration into the community, based on the needs and risks identified.
