[QUOTE="slsh, post: 593190, member: 8"] A word of caution - if you have ds evaluated in an ER and the staff determines that he is a danger to himself or others, I believe they can admit him regardless of your wishes. Our very first "crisis" evaluation did take place in an ER, under a program that I don't believe exists any longer in IL. A crisis worker met us there, interviewed him, interviewed us. We got hooked into services immediately that were home-based. It was quite a while ago, but I believe once I mentioned to ER staff that XYZ Agency was meeting us there, they pretty much left us alone, but my son was 6 at the time. Even had the crisis program existed when he was 12, no way would ER staff have been able to leave us alone and wait for the crisis folks to show up - by that point, when he fell apart, he did it in a very violent fashion.
