The number of youth emergency department (ED) visits due to mental health concerns has been steadily increasing with a large number of youth being referred from school. Despite the increase in ED visits, there has not been an increase in the number of students who are actually admitted to the hospital. Furthermore, youth referred from school are more likely to be discharged from the ED. Given the unique relationship between school and ED referrals and the large number of youth who do not require hospitalization, this study sought to understand how schools are supporting students who return to school after an ED visit. We conducted a scoping review to identify programs and practices to support ED‐to‐school transition. Two reviewers screened 907 manuscripts, but none of the manuscripts met the inclusion criteria. We discuss the importance of supporting students returning to school from the ED and draw from the literature on hospital‐to‐school transition to make recommendations for school psychologists and educators more broadly
