How do parents handle the mental health crisis of their child, teen, or young adult?

What this is about:

I want to identify the best ways to handle a mental health crisis in a troubled child, teen, or young adult, and to discover what has and has not worked for other parents.

A “crisis” is when a child’s behavior becomes unsafe or unbearable, and a parent must to act immediately to reduce danger and/or get treatment. The definition is flexible because 'crisis' depends on the child and situation. Use your best judgment.

All respondent's data are anonymous.

How survey results will be used:

Responses will be analyzed and published online, and used to guide parents, crisis responders, school staff, hospital staff, and mental health services.

The survey closes December 31, 2017, and the results will be published on the website Raising Troubled Kids and its Facebook page by January 15, 2018.
