Helping Kids in Crisis: Managing Psychiatric Emergencies in Children and Adolescents is a practical, easy-to-use guide for clinicians working with child and adolescent psychiatric emergencies across various settings—from emergency rooms to schools to community pediatric or mental health clinics. The book addresses the growing need to manage crises in young patients who may struggle with psychiatric symptoms, particularly when access to specialized care is limited. Authored by Fadi Haddad and published by Amer Psychiatric Pub, this first edition offers essential tools for assessment, de-escalation, and diagnosis. With concrete case examples, the book equips practitioners with strategies to stabilize crises quickly and determine appropriate next steps, including whether a trip to the emergency room is necessary. Featuring up-to-date information and accessible guidance, Helping Kids in Crisis is an invaluable resource for pediatricians, social workers, school psychologists, guidance counselors, and school nurses. The publication was recognized with First Prize in Psychiatry at the 2015 British Medical Association Medical Book Awards.
