The Wait to Nowhere
When a crisis goes untreated
Every day, children in mental health crisis are stuck waiting in emergency rooms, not for minutes, but for days, weeks, sometimes months, because there’s nowhere else for them to go.
“The Wait to Nowhere: When a Crisis Goes Untreated” goes inside that wait. Families describe watching their kids lose ground with nothing to treat them. Hospital teams describe running out of options. Lawmakers describe what it will actually take to fix it.
Speak Our Minds initiated this documentary and produced it in partnership with the Children’s Hospital Association and children’s hospitals across the country who opened their doors and shared their stories.
