Abstract

Mental illness in children is on the rise and more children are becoming psychiatric boarders while awaiting treatment. Many hospitals lack a separate area to board children in psychiatric crisis who can’t be discharged to home which means that children are housed in the same unit as adult psychiatric patients. This EBP project sought to identify best practices for children experiencing a mental health crisis, but a more thorough review of the literature as well as an evidence synthesis needs to be completed before practice recommendations can be identified.
