dc.description.abstractYoung 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.
