Making a Behavioral Health Emergency Plan for Youth and Families
Like a physical health crisis, a behavioral health crisis can be challenging for individuals, families, and communities. Having a plan with pertinent information- all in one place- will make it less complicated if a situation becomes overwhelming.
Rhode Island introduces this Behavioral Health Emergency Plan for Youth and Families to help manage crises related to substance use, alcohol and drug addiction, psychological distress, suicide, and other mental health conditions.
Fill out the Behavioral Health Emergency Crisis Plan to:
· Know your child and family's resources and supports at a moment's notice.
· Better prepare your support system by making this information readily available.
Avoid the added stress of putting a plan in
