[quote=Anonymous]Does the child want to go? If not it’s even harder. Here has been our experience with Merrifield crisis center. We have been there multiple times. They completed an evaluation and since there wasn’t an actual suicide attempt, they either sent us all home or told us to we could go to the ER if we wanted but we would likely sit for 12+ hours if not longer and may not be admitted. We have had better luck finding help by calling places directly like Sandstone, Dominion and Embark. We are in VA. It’s a slow, hard process. I’m so sorry for anyone going through this and trying to get mental help. You can also post on the special needs board. They have been supportive for me. [/quote]
