Crisis Intervention

The acute inpatient team supports children and youth whose mental health and addictions needs are best met in an acute care setting. Children and youth served by Acute Inpatient services need either: intense, short-term support to address or resolve a mental health or addictions crisis; OR, longer-term support so that the child or youth, family/caregivers and the Acute Inpatient care team can learn more about the mental health or addictions difficulty and determine the best treatment options.
