Abstract

Youth have been increasingly struggling with their mental health, leading to an unprecedented rise in emergency room visits and inpatient psychiatric admissions. It is prudent for mental health providers to be familiar with all services within a continuum of care that can address the early phases of a crisis, allowing youth to remain in the community while being treated. The system of care (SOC) approach has demonstrated positive effects in mitigating the need for hospital-based services. There is a call among experts to integrate SOC concepts during inpatient psychiatric admissions to promote youth remaining within a community after discharge.
