"A crisis can be violence, aggression, severe depression, out of control behavior, or mental health issues that cause immediate concern for the safety of the child or family members.In some situations where a crisis cannot be safely resolved after other avenues of crisis intervention have been exhausted, the Crisis Response Team may attempt to authorize a voluntary, temporary mental health crisis care placement based on availability. All placements must be requested and approved by the parent. Parents will be asked to either transport the child, or approve transportation for the child, and must be involved in the placement process with the facility. Crisis stays may last between 24 to 72 hours depending on needs of the child and family.
