A Survival Guide for Kids in the Psych Ward

"I've been in your shoes before, and I know how scary it is. I wrote this guide because I wish I had it when I went into my first psych ward." A Survival Guide for Kids in the Psych Ward is one of the first peer-written resources designed for children entering inpatient psychiatric care. Moving beyond scary clinical pamphlets, this guide provides age-appropriate answers about: The Intake Process: What to expect about the many questions and explaining the reason behind things like the skin check, besides just "it's policy."Ward Life: Pro tips about ward life hacks that most kids never get to hear from the nurses.Daily Survival: How to survive the snoring roommate, the crinkly plastic mattresses, and small talk with roommates.Going Home: A guide for telling friends about being in the hospital and how to handle school absences. Written by a former patient, this guide was designed for the more than 200,000+ children hospitalized in psychiatric facilities annually who may not have a peer who "knows the ropes" of the psych unit.
