Description
The number of mental health patients who seek emergency medical care continues to rise. Interacting with this population can be challenging and requires a skillset beyond traditional first aid. To effectively and safely care for these individuals, first responders must be able to identify patients in crisis and develop an immediate trusting relationship with them. The emergency care provider and mental health patient both experience fear as a predominant emotion during their initial interaction. This presentation will provide an overview of behaviors exhibited by a patient in crisis, explore the underlying fear response, and provide the learner with strategies to implement during the initial encounter of a mental health patient in need of emergency care.
