Helping children when and where they need it most

Copyright © 2009-2021 Child Mind Institute, Inc. All rights reserved.

One of the toughest things a parent can face is realizing that a child is in great emotional distress and not being able to help them. When children are in a psychiatric crisis, the emergency room can be a lifesaver, especially when kids are at risk of hurting themselves, or have already done so. But once that decision is made, you may find yourself in uncharted territory.

This week on childmind.org ([link removed]) we round up resources to help parents deal with psychiatric crises. What will happen when you get to the ER ([link removed]), and what can (and can’t) the ER do for your child? Similarly, if a child is admitted to in-patient psychiatric treatment ([link removed]), what can you expect, and what is your role? We’ve also rounded up the latest thinking about several disorders that appear in adolescence and can lead to psychiatric emergencies — schizophrenia ([link removed]), bipolar disorder ([link removed]) and borderline personality disorder ([link removed]). And we note that there are effective new treatments that can improve outcomes for all three.
