dc.description.abstract | Young children in psychiatric crisis present complex challenges to their families and service providers.
This article presents a qualitative study of families' perspectives on the crisis that led to
their child's hospitalization, as well as their experience and satisfaction with prior communitybased
services including crisis services. Results of the study support the usefulness of an ecological
view on child mental health emergencies, and specify the need for the development of a more
family-centered, community-based crisis response system that includes secure transportation
and access to "warm-line" services. To prevent or curtail hospitalization of children, families
require assistance in outpatient medication management, especially timely access to psychiatric
medication consults and clear information from professionals about benefits and side effects. | |
