ESU has been the only screening and assessment LPS facility for youth, in an acute psychiatric crisis, in the county since 1995.

They will also assess the child's current mental state and identify any symptoms of a mental health crisis to report to the RN or Clinician.

2. Developing Discharge Plans: Based on the assessment, the psych RN will work with ESU MDs, the child and their family to develop a plan that addresses the child's mental health needs while the LPT continues to meet the needs of the youth and support the youth with the discharge plan. The plan may include medication, therapy, and other referrals for outpatient services that will address the mental health needs post-discharge. This discharge plan may also be coordinating a transfer to an inpatient bed for higher level treatment

3. Monitoring Medications: If the child is prescribed medication, the LPT will monitor their medication regimen. They will also monitor the child for any side effects or adverse reactions to the medication as well as assess for any emergency meds necessary
