Organization:
Children's National Hospital
Be assured that at any time of day, our specialists are available by phone for consultation and for emergency psychiatric evaluations in the Emergency Department – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our team of child and adolescent mental health clinicians care exclusively for children. Our specialists have the expertise to recognize psychiatric disorders in children and the experience to recommend the most appropriate next steps in care.
We assess patients in crisis and determine whether a patient would benefit from inpatient psychiatric services or can be safely discharged and seen at a follow-up visit with outpatient services.
If a child or adolescent needs to be admitted, the staff facilitates the most appropriate admission for each patient.
Please note that we do not provide medication evaluations in the Emergency Department.
