Edit I wrote an earlier review on how long we have been waiting it has now been 11 and a half hours waiting for my son to be taken to his facility we got here at 1030 am and it is now 945 pm! My son was brave enough to tell us he needed help so we brought him in the emergency department for mental health he was happy to be getting some treatment now that we are nearly 12 hours in to just sitting and sitting he is discouraged he said he thought it would be different he thought he would get help not just be left to sit in a room for 12 hours! I feel like going forward if my son ever feels like he needs help again he wont tell us because of the horrible experience he has had today! Something needs to be done about this process children who are feeling suicidal deserve more then being left to sit in a tiny room for 12 hours before they get help!!!

Ive been sitting in the psychiatry unit for 8 hours waiting for them to transfer my son to a in patient facility and they still cant tell me how much longer it will be! This is a horrible experience to be sitting in a small windowless room for hours and hours and my son is going crazy he would just like to get to were hes going to be so he can sleep!
