[quote=Anonymous]Call the suicide hotline and see if they can find you a local crisis center or hospital to go to. For suicidal ideation (no concrete plan but jus thoughts of wanting to die) you can try to get her into a partial hospitalization program (PHP). These are usually 2 weeks long and provide therapy and a psychiatrist during the day, but sleep at home. If she has a concrete plan then an Inpatient stay would be in order. But you’ll need to go to an ER at a hospital that has an adolescent psych unit to be evaluated. If there is a plan or the ER determines the child won’t be safe at home, they will recommend admission. You’d need to wait for a bed to open at a hospital, and stay in the ER until a bed opens up. [/quote]
