Connecticut Children's expects to flag 20,000 kids in FY 2021 for suicidal ideation — a tenfold increase compared to FY 2020

All children above 10 in the emergency department are asked if they have considered suicide.

Nearly all children were screened; CCMC did not track the number of children whose parents opted out of its mandatory screening in FY 2021
