	Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Emergency (CAPE) The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Emergency Unit (CAPE) provides a short stay in inpatient care for children and youth (through age 17) experiencing acute psychiatric problems. Placement is by referral only – patients must first go to their community hospital emergency department for initial assessment (in Vancouver, children 16 and under should go to the BC Children’s Hospital Emergency Department). CAPE is a six-bed unit staffed by registered nurses, child psychiatrists and social workers.
