The pediatric behavioral health (PBH) crisis is hitting emergency departments hard. The number of these visits are rising, and aggressive behaviors including self-harm are increasing. Staff who care for these children need resources and to feel comfortable managing a crisis. See how pediatric clinicians in a large Level I pediatric trauma center collaborated with PBH specialists to address this growing problem—and make staff feel more prepared for these situations. 1.0 contact hours.

  • The ongoing pediatric behavioral and mental health crisis in the U.S., disparities in access to care, and trends in PBH visits to EDs
  • Verbal and physical signs of escalating behavior.
  • Developmentally appropriate de-escalation interventions to enhance safety of the child, family members, and staff.
