- Work with children and youth who present to the ED or PEU, requiring urgent crisis-based psychiatric care and bridging to community-based resources in addition to youth who may require more intensive support due to clinical deterioration prior to consideration of admission to hospital.

- Have experience in working with children and youth, their families, and the challenges that face these families.
