It is a good idea to write down (even as a note in your phone):
- who you saw
- tests and their results
- any questions and the answers received
This information can help when you follow up with your primary care doctor.

Before you leave:
- if you are still experiencing pain, be sure to ask how to care for it
- ask what signs or symptoms to come back for
- ask any questions you have before you leave.

There are no bad questions!

Virtual Education Sessions - This FREE online programming for parents and caregivers of children and youth, aims to increase awareness and reduce stigma of the mental health challenges that children and adolescents can experience (which can also happen after hospitalization), provide parents and caregivers with evidence-based mental health information, and provide strategies that support mental wellness.

Well on Your Way is a resource helping youth transition to adult healthcare.
Parents or caregivers often do most of the work of managing the health of their children; arranging appointments, tracking health information, managing medicines
or treatment plans, and talking to their child’s healthcare team. When youth move to adult care near the age of 18, these roles change.

Youth will be expected to manage their own health which means they will need to learn new skills. This can take time so it’s best to start preparing early (age 12). 

The goal of this website is to give youth and their families’ information, skills and resources to help them get ready for the transition to adult care.

You can call 811, see your doctor, or if you are worried and unsure, come back to the ED.
