Management of Psychiatric Emergencies Among Migrant Youth in Institutional and Community Settings
Migrant youth commonly access mental health care for the first time during emergencies, rather than through ambulatory means. Suicidal behaviors may occur more often among migrants than nonmigrant youth, and they may suffer from post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and display disruptive behaviors more frequently than their nonmigrant counterparts. Brief emergency interventions include safety planning, psychoeducation, parent training on communication and establishing routines, and behavioral therapies like activity scheduling and sleep hygiene.
