[quote=Anonymous]Getting the kid to the ER is a good first step! They will go through regular triage at the ER and then into the ER psych ward. There will be a lot of waiting. Eventually, they will see a doctor who will do an assessment of whether they seem to be in immediate danger. Depending on the results of that assessment, they will either be admitted on a psych hold or released with recommendation to follow up with their pediatrician or mental health provider. Suicidal ideation and attempting suicide have slightly different assessment/next steps paths. [/quote]
