It is critical to take your child to the emergency room to get immediate help and to also fast track the process of getting help. If you child is unwilling to leave the house you can call Service Access Management Crisis noted above: 717-769-6374. Ask for Crisis intake. They are likely to send a mental health professional to the house to assess your child and give you guidance to get help. If your child becomes violent, please call your local police for assistance.
