Frontier Health provides timely access to pediatric mental health services for children and adolescents (under age 18) presenting in a mental health crisis. The Children’s Walk-In Center serves as an alternative treatment setting for those who need urgent (same day) intervention, but do not necessarily require the services of the emergency room. (If your child does need the emergency room for emergency medical care, they should go straight to the emergency room.) The Walk-In Center, located at 1324 Midland Drive in Kingsport, is open Monday through Friday, 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The Center will be closed on weekends and holidays.
We can provide the following services:
• Assessment: A member of our mobile crisis team will conduct a focused mental health evaluation, assessing immediate safety concerns and further mental health needs.
• Coordination of care: Our team will coordinate with parents and caregivers to provide safety planning and explore the best treatment options for their child.
• Referral: Our staff will provide resources and help with linkage to outpatient services. The following day, our staff will call you to check in and assist with securing needed follow up services and appointments.
