Currently, families have several options if their children are experiencing a mental health crisis. In some locations, there is inpatient hospital care, children's residential treatment, mobile crisis teams, and outpatient care. However, there are times when a child facing a mental health crisis needs help and the right response isn't available. NAMI Minnesota and Minnesota Council of Child Caring Agencies are working to develop recommendations on what that short-term crisis care should provide. Your feedback on this brief survey will help us shape this important program. We are gathering input until January 15, 2017.  Thank you for sharing your views.
