[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 415059, member: 1169"] Having done this, you need to call 911 and tell them you need medical transport for a suicidal teen. Warn them that he is refusing to go to the hospital with you. Once at the hospital, they will screen (or call a screener -- it depends on your insurance). Insist that they admit him for 'risk of harm to self' even if he denies to them that he is suicidal. He can be admitted against his will for a short stay and depending on what he shares with them, they may be able to extend it if needed. This is truly just 'crisis' care and will hopefully break through his refusal to get help and then the progress they make can be continued in regular therapy andmed management. Once you get him in the hospital, contact the school and ask that all grades since the suicide be thrown out and that he be allowed to redo them following care -- (1) he can be placed on homebound and given extensions to do all his work or (2) he can do a medical withdrawal from the semester with no grades given and then make up and required courses next year, etc. [/QUOTE]
